1. Formula & Example





Formula
1. Mean `bar x = (sum x)/n`
2. Sample Variance `S^2 = (sum x^2 - (sum x)^2/n)/(n-1)`
3. Sample Standard deviation `S = sqrt((sum x^2 - (sum x)^2/n)/(n-1))`
4. Coefficient of Variation (Sample) `=S / bar x * 100 %`

Examples
1. Calculate Sample Variance `(S^2)`, Sample Standard deviation `(S)`, Sample Coefficient of Variation from the following data
3,13,11,15,5,4,2,3,2


Solution:
`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`



Sample Variance `S^2 = (sum x^2 - (sum x)^2/n)/(n-1)`

`=(582 - (58)^2/9)/8`

`=(582 - 373.7778)/8`

`=208.2222/8`

`=26.0278`



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

`=sqrt((582 - (58)^2/9)/8)`

`=sqrt((582 - 373.7778)/8)`

`=sqrt(208.2222/8)`

`=sqrt(26.0278)`

`=5.1017`



Coefficient of Variation (Sample) `=S / bar x * 100 %`

`=5.1017/6.4444 * 100 %`

`=79.16 %`
2. Calculate Sample Variance `(S^2)`, Sample Standard deviation `(S)`, Sample Coefficient of Variation from the following data
85,96,76,108,85,80,100,85,70,95


Solution:
`x``x - bar x = x - 88``(x - bar x)^2`
85 -3 `-3=85-88` 9 `9=-3xx-3`
96 8 `8=96-88` 64 `64=8xx8`
76 -12 `-12=76-88` 144 `144=-12xx-12`
108 20 `20=108-88` 400 `400=20xx20`
85 -3 `-3=85-88` 9 `9=-3xx-3`
80 -8 `-8=80-88` 64 `64=-8xx-8`
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`



Sample Variance `S^2 = (sum (x - bar x)^2)/(n-1)`

`=1216/9`

`=135.1111`



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

`=sqrt(1216/9)`

`=sqrt(135.1111)`

`=11.6237`



Coefficient of Variation (Sample) `=S / bar x * 100 %`

`=11.6237/88 * 100 %`

`=13.21 %`
