1. Calculate the variance and Standard deviation for the following data.
Class: 0-4 4-8 8-12 12-16 16-20 20-24
Frequency: 4 6 8 12 7 2
2. The mean of 200 items is 48 and their standard deviation is 3. Find the sum of all items and
sum of squares of all items
3. The mean and standard deviation of 20 items is found to be 10 and 2 respectively. At the time of checking it
was found that one item 8 was incorrect. Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation if (i) the wrong item is
omitted, and (ii) it is replaced by 12.
4. The sum and sum of squares corresponding to length X (in cms) and weight Y (in gms) of 50 tapioca tubers are
as follows: Which is more varying, the length or weight?
