## Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Statistics and Probability Ex 8.2

Question 1.
The standard deviation and mean of a data are 6.5 and 12.5 respectively. Find the coefficient of variation.
Answer:
Standard deviation of a data (σ) = 6.5
Mean of the data ($$\bar{x}$$) = 12.5
Coefficient of variation = $$\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}} \times 100 \%$$
= $$\frac{6.5}{12.5} \times 100 \%=52 \%$$
Coefficient of variation = 52%

Question 2.
The standard deviation and coefficient of variation of a data are 1.2 and 25.6 respectively. Find the value of mean.
Answer:
Standard deviation (σ) = 1.2
Coefficient of variation = 25.6

Question 3.
If the mean and coefficient of variation of a data are 15 and 48 respectively, then find the value of standard deviation.
Answer:
Mean ($$\bar{x}$$) = 15
Co efficient of variation = 48

Question 4.
If n = 5, $$\bar{x}$$ = 6, Σx2 = 765, then calculate the coefficient of variation.
Answer:

Question 5.
Find the coefficient of variation of 24, 26, 33, 37, 29, 31.
Answer:
Arrange in ascending order we get 24, 26, 29, 31, 33, 37
Assumed mean = 29

Question 6.
The time taken (in minutes) to complete homework by 8 students in a day are given by 38, 40, 47, 44, 46, 43, 49, 53. Find the coefficient of variation.
Answer:
Arrange in ascending order we get, 38, 40, 43, 44, 46, 47, 49, 53.
Assumed mean = 46

= $$\frac{453}{45}$$%
= 10.066
Coefficient of variation = 10.07%

Question 7.
The total marks scored by two students Sathya and Vidhya in 5 subjects are 460 and 480 with standard deviation of 4.6 and 2.4 respectively. Who is more consistent in performance?
Answer:
Total marks scored by sathya = 460
Total marks scored by vidhya = 480
Number of subjects = 5
Mean marks of sathya = $$\frac{460}{5}$$
$$\bar{x}$$ = 92%
Given standard deviation, (σ) = 4.6

Vidhya coefficient of variation is less than Sathya.
Vidhya is more consistent.

Question 8.
The mean and standard deviation of marks obtained by 40 students of a class in three subjects Mathematics, Science and Social Science are given below.

Which of the three subjects shows the highest variation and which shows the lowest variation in marks?
Answer:
(i) Mathematics:
Mean ($$\bar{x}$$) = 56
Standard deviation (σ) = 12
Coefficient variation (CV1) = $$\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}} \times 100=\frac{12}{56} \times 100$$

Science shows the highest variation
Social science shows the lowest variation

Question 9.
The temperature of two cities A and B in the winter season are given below.

Find which city is more consistent in temperature changes?
Answer:
(i) city A:
Assumed mean = 22

C.V of city A < C.V of city B
City A is more consistent in temperature change.
