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 |
| 64 | 25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 65 | 12 | 1 | 1 | 12 | 12 |
| 66 | 10 | 2 | 4 | 20 | 40 |
| 67 | 4 | 3 | 9 | 12 | 36 |
| 68 | 5 | 4 | 16 | 20 | 80 |
| 100 | 220 | 0 | 286 |
Mean, \(\bar{x}=A\frac{\sum_{i=1}^9f_ix_i}{n}×h=64+\frac{0}{100}×1=64+0=64\)
Variance, (σ2) = \(\frac{h^2}{N^2}[N\sum_{i=1}^9f_iy_i^2-(\sum_{i=1}^9f_iy_i)^2]\)
\(=\frac{1}{100^2}[100×286-0]\)
\(=2.86\)
\(∴\,standard\,deviation\,(σ)=√2.86=1.69\)

A rain drop of radius 2 mm falls from a height of 500 m above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until at half its original height, it attains its maximum (terminal) speed, and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey ? What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is 10 m s–1 ?

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
