Find the mean and standard deviation using short-cut method.
| \(x_i\) | 60 | 61 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 | 68 |
| \(f_i\) | 2 | 1 | 12 | 29 | 25 | 12 | 10 | 4 | 5 |
Solution and Explanation
The data is obtained in tabular form as follows.
| \(x_i\) | \(f_i\) | \(fx_i=\frac{x_i-64}{1}\) | \(y_1^2\) | \(f_iy_i\) | \(f_iy_1^2\) |
| 60 | 2 | -4 | 16 | -8 | 32 |
| 61 | 1 | -3 | 9 | -3 | 9 |
| 62 | 12 | -2 | 4 | -24 | 48 |
| 63 | 29 | -1 | 1 | -29 | 29 |

| 66 | 10 | 2 | 4 | 20 | 40 |
| 67 | 4 | 3 | 9 | 12 | 36 |
| 68 | 5 | 4 | 16 | 20 | 80 |

Mean, \(\bar{x}=A\frac{\sum_{i=1}^9f_ix_i}{n}×h=64+\frac{0}{100}×1=64+0=64\)
Variance, (σ2) = \(\frac{h^2}{N^2}[N\sum_{i=1}^9f_iy_i^2-(\sum_{i=1}^9f_iy_i)^2]\)
\(=\frac{1}{100^2}[100×286-0]\)
\(=2.86\)
\(∴\,standard\,deviation\,(σ)=√2.86=1.69\)
Top Questions on Variance and Standard Deviation
- The mean and standard deviation of 100 observations are 40 and 5.1, respectively. By mistake one observation is taken as 50 instead of 40. If the correct mean and the correct standard deviation are $ \mu $ and $ \sigma $ respectively, then $ 10(\mu + \sigma) $ is equal to:

Concepts Used:
Variance and Standard Deviation
Variance:
According to layman’s words, the variance is a measure of how far a set of data are dispersed out from their mean or average value. It is denoted as ‘σ2’.
Variance Formula:

Standard Deviation:
The spread of statistical data is measured by the standard deviation. Distribution measures the deviation of data from its mean or average position. The degree of dispersion is computed by the method of estimating the deviation of data points. It is denoted by the symbol, ‘σ’.
Types of Standard Deviation:
- Standard Deviation for Discrete Frequency distribution
- Standard Deviation for Continuous Frequency distribution
Standard Deviation Formulas:
1. Population Standard Deviation
2. Sample Standard Deviation
