Question : 27
Total: 34
The sum and sum of squares corresponding to length x (in cm) and weight y (in gm) of 50 plant products are given below :
x i = 212 ,
x i 2 = 902.8 ;
y i = 261 ,
y j 2 = 1457.6
Which is more varying, the length or weight?
Which is more varying, the length or weight?
Solution:
We have ,
x i = 212 ,
x i 2 = 902.8
Now,
=
= 4.24
σ x 2 =
× 902.8 - (
) 2
= 18.056 – 17.978 = 0.078
∴σ x = √ 0.078 = 0.28
Also,
y i = 261 ,
y j 2 = 1457.6
=
= 5.22
σ y 2 =
× 1457.6 - (
) 2 = 29.152 - 27.248 = 1.904
∴σ y = √ 1.904 = 1.38
C.V. of length (x) =
× 100 = 6.6
C.V. of weight (y) =
× 100 = 26.4
Since C.V. of weight > C.V. of length
Thus weight have more variability than length.
Now,
= 18.056 – 17.978 = 0.078
∴
Also,
∴
C.V. of length (x) =
C.V. of weight (y) =
Since C.V. of weight > C.V. of length
Thus weight have more variability than length.
