Formula
|
1. Mean `bar x = (sum x)/n`
|
|
2. Population Variance `sigma^2 = (sum x^2 - (sum x)^2/n)/n`
|
|
3. Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum x^2 - (sum 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 data
3,13,11,15,5,4,2,3,2Solution:| `x` | `x^2` |
| 3 | 9 `9=3xx3` |
| 13 | 169 `169=13xx13` |
| 11 | 121 `121=11xx11` |
| 15 | 225 `225=15xx15` |
| 5 | 25 `25=5xx5` |
| 4 | 16 `16=4xx4` |
| 2 | 4 `4=2xx2` |
| 3 | 9 `9=3xx3` |
| 2 | 4 `4=2xx2` |
| --- | --- |
| `sum x=58` | `sum x^2=582` |
Mean `bar x = (sum x)/n`
`=(3 + 13 + 11 + 15 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 2)/9`
`=58/9`
`=6.4444`
Population Variance `sigma^2 = (sum x^2 - (sum x)^2/n)/n`
`=(582 - (58)^2/9)/9`
`=(582 - 373.7778)/9`
`=208.2222/9`
`=23.1358`
Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum x^2 - (sum x)^2/n)/n)`
`=sqrt((582 - (58)^2/9)/9)`
`=sqrt((582 - 373.7778)/9)`
`=sqrt(208.2222/9)`
`=sqrt(23.1358)`
`=4.81`
Coefficient of Variation (Population) `=sigma / bar x * 100 %`
`=4.81/6.4444 * 100 %`
`=74.64 %`
2. Calculate Population Variance `(sigma^2)`, Population Standard deviation `(sigma)`, Population Coefficient of Variation from the following data
85,96,76,108,85,80,100,85,70,95Solution:| `x` | `x - bar x = x - 88` | `(x - bar x)^2` |

| 100 | 12 `12=100-88` | 144 `144=12xx12` |
| 85 | -3 `-3=85-88` | 9 `9=-3xx-3` |
| 70 | -18 `-18=70-88` | 324 `324=-18xx-18` |
| 95 | 7 `7=95-88` | 49 `49=7xx7` |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `sum x=880` | `sum (x - bar x)=0` | `sum (x - bar x)^2=1216` |
Mean `bar x = (sum x)/n`
`=(85 + 96 + 76 + 108 + 85 + 80 + 100 + 85 + 70 + 95)/10`
`=880/10`
`=88`
Population Variance `sigma^2 = (sum (x - bar x)^2)/n`
`=1216/10`
`=121.6`
Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum (x - bar x)^2)/n)`
`=sqrt(1216/10)`
`=sqrt(121.6)`
`=11.0272`
Coefficient of Variation (Population) `=sigma / bar x * 100 %`
`=11.0272/88 * 100 %`
`=12.53 %`
