If the variance of the distribution \begin{array}{cccccccc} \hline \boldsymbol{x}_{\boldsymbol{i}} & 4 & 8 & 11 & 17 & 20 & 24 & 32 \\ \hline \boldsymbol{f}_{\boldsymbol{i}} & 3 & 5 & 9 & 5 & 4 & 3 & 1 \end{array} is 45.8 , then the variance of the distribution. \begin{array}{llllllll} \hline \boldsymbol{x}_{\boldsymbol{i}} & 10 & 18 & 24 & 36 & 42 & 50 & 66 \\ \hline \boldsymbol{f}_{\boldsymbol{i}} & 3 & 5 & 9 & 5 & 4 & 3 & 1 \\ \hline \end{array}
  1. 93.6
  2. $\sqrt{93.9}$
  3. 183.2
  4. $\sqrt{183.2}$

Solution

Mean of given observation $\left(x_i\right)$ is $ \begin{array}{r} \frac{(4 \times 3)+(8 \times 5)+(11 \times 9)+(17 \times 5)+(20 \times 4)}{+(24 \times 3)+(32 \times 1)} \\ =\frac{420}{30}=14 \end{array} $ So, $ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{ce} & =k \frac{10^2+6^2+3^2+3^2+6^2+10^2+18^2}{30} \\ & =45.8 \text { (given) } \end{aligned} $ Now, mean of given observation $\left(y_i\right)$ is $ \begin{array}{r} \begin{array}{r} (10 \times 3)+(18 \times 5)+(24 \times 9)+(36 \times 5)+(42 \times 4) \\ +(50 \times 3)+(66 \times 1) \end{array} \\ \begin{aligned} 30 & \frac{900}{30}=30 \end{aligned} \end{array} $ So, variance $ \begin{aligned} & =k \frac{20^2+12^2+6^2+6^2+12^2+20^2+36^2}{30} \\ & =4 \times k\left(\frac{10^2+6^2+3^2+3^2+6^2+10^2+18^2}{30}\right) \\ & =4 \times 45.8=183.2 \end{aligned} $
