Formula

1. Mean `bar x = (sum fx)/n`

2. Population Variance `sigma^2 = (sum f*x^2 - (sum f*x)^2/n)/n`

3. Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum f*x^2 - (sum f*x)^2/n)/n)`

4. Coefficient of Variation (Population) `=sigma / bar x * 100 %`

Examples
1. Calculate Population Variance `(sigma^2)`, Population Standard deviation `(sigma)`, Population Coefficient of Variation from the following grouped data

Class	Frequency
2 - 4	3
4 - 6	4
6 - 8	2
8 - 10	1

Solution:

Class `(1)`	Frequency `(f)` `(2)`	Mid value `(x)` `(3)`	`f*x` `(4)=(2)xx(3)`	`f*x^2=(f*x)xx(x)` `(5)=(4)xx(3)`
2-4	3	3 `3=(2+4)/2`	9 `9=3xx3` `(4)=(2)xx(3)`	27 `27=9xx3` `(5)=(4)xx(3)`
4-6	4	5 `5=(4+6)/2`	20 `20=4xx5` `(4)=(2)xx(3)`	100 `100=20xx5` `(5)=(4)xx(3)`
6-8	2	7 `7=(6+8)/2`	14 `14=2xx7` `(4)=(2)xx(3)`	98 `98=14xx7` `(5)=(4)xx(3)`
8-10	1	9 `9=(8+10)/2`	9 `9=1xx9` `(4)=(2)xx(3)`	81 `81=9xx9` `(5)=(4)xx(3)`

--	`n = 10`	--	`sum f*x=52`	`sum f*x^2=306`

Mean `bar x = (sum fx)/n`

`=52/10`

`=5.2`

---

Population Variance `sigma^2 = (sum f*x^2 - (sum f*x)^2/n)/n`

`=(306 - (52)^2/10)/10`

`=(306 - 270.4)/10`

`=35.6/10`

`=3.56`

---

Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum f*x^2 - (sum f*x)^2/n)/n)`

`=sqrt((306 - (52)^2/10)/10)`

`=sqrt((306 - 270.4)/10)`

`=sqrt(35.6/10)`

`=sqrt(3.56)`

`=1.8868`

---

Coefficient of Variation (Population) `=sigma / bar x * 100 %`

`=1.8868/5.2 * 100 %`

`=36.28 %`

Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum f*x^2 - (sum f*x)^2/n)/n)`

`=sqrt((147 - (55)^2/25)/25)`

`=sqrt((147 - 121)/25)`
