STA301 Assignment 1 Solution

The document contains solutions to two statistics assignment questions. Question 1 asks to compute the geometric mean and harmonic mean for a distribution of annual death rates. The solution shows the calculations, which result in a geometric mean of 8.66 and a harmonic mean of 8.375. Question 2 asks to calculate the mean deviation from the mean and coefficient of mean deviation from the mean for a frequency distribution of apple weights. The solution shows the calculations and results: mean deviation from the mean is 28.267 and coefficient of mean deviation from the mean is 0.2307.

Question 1:
Marks: 10

Compute the geometric mean and Harmonic mean for the following distribution of annual death
rate.
X 3.95 4.95 5.95 6.95 7.95 8.95 9.95 10.95 11.9 12.95 13.95

∑f=88 ∑f log X= ∑f/x=
82.50615 10.50686

G.M= Antilog (∑f log X/∑f)


= Antilog (0.93757)
= 8.66
H.M= ∑f/∑f/x
=88/10.50686
=8.375
Question 2:
Marks: 10
By using the following frequency distribution of weights of apples find.
1. Mean Deviation from Mean
2. Co-efficient of Mean Deviation from Mean

Weights 65-84 85-104 105-124 124-144 145-164 165-184 185-204


f 9 10 17 10 5 4 5

Solution:
Class f X fX |X-Mean| f |X-Mean|
65-84 9 74.5 670.5 48 432
85-104 10 94.5 945 28 280
105-124 17 114.5 1946.5 8 136
125-144 10 134.5 1345 12 120
145-164 5 154.5 772.5 32 160
165-184 4 174.5 698 52 208
185-204 5 194.5 972.5 72 360
∑f =60 ∑f X= 7350 ∑ f |X-Mean|=
1696

Mean = ∑f X/∑f
=7350/60
= 122.5
1. Mean Deviation from Mean

= ∑ f |X-Mean| / ∑f
= 1696/60
=28.267
2. Co-efficient of Mean Deviation from Mean

=M.D/ Mean
=28.267/122.5
=0.2307
