3. Sample Standard deviation Example





1. Calculate Sample Standard deviation `(S)` from the following mixed data
ClassFrequency
13
24
510
6 - 1023
10 - 2020
20 - 3020
30 - 5015
50 - 703
70 - 1002


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)`

---------------
`n = 100`-----`sum f*x=1995``sum f*x^2=67991`


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

`=1995/100`

`=19.95`



Sample Standard deviation `S = sqrt((sum f*x^2 - (sum f*x)^2/n)/(n-1))`

`=sqrt((67991 - (1995)^2/100)/99)`

`=sqrt((67991 - 39800.25)/99)`

`=sqrt(28190.75/99)`

`=sqrt(284.7551)`

`=16.8747`


2. Calculate Sample Standard deviation `(S)` from the following mixed data
ClassFrequency
21
32
42
5 - 98
10 - 1415
15 - 198
20 - 294


Solution:

Frequency `(f)`
`(2)`
Mid value `(x)`
`(3)`
`f*x`
`(4)=(2)xx(3)`
`f*x^2=(f*x)xx(x)`

---------------
`n = 40`-----`sum f*x=486``sum f*x^2=7319`


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

`=486/40`

`=12.15`



Sample Standard deviation `S = sqrt((sum f*x^2 - (sum f*x)^2/n)/(n-1))`

`=sqrt((7319 - (486)^2/40)/39)`

`=sqrt((7319 - 5904.9)/39)`

`=sqrt(1414.1/39)`

`=sqrt(36.259)`

`=6.0215`
