    Find the dispersion of given data in table?

    Dispersion of any data is measure in the term of variance and Standard Deviation. For finding the standard deviation we use the formula -
    Standard Deviation (σ) = √ VARIANCE and
    VARIANCE (σ2) = (∑ fx2  / ∑f ) - (∑ fx  / ∑f )2
    Where µ = mean = sum of data / no. of event
    Step 1: find the fx and fx2
    fx 0 6 6 20 5 30 28 24 9 10 Fx2 0 36 36 400 25 900 784 576 81 100  
    Step 2:  now we measure the variance of data
    ∑f = 0+3+2+5+1+5+4+3+1+1 = 25
    ∑fx = 0+6+6+20+5+30+28+24+9+10 = 138
    ∑fx2 = 0+36+36+400+25+900+784+576+81+100 = 2938
    VARIANCE (σ2) = (∑ fx2  / ∑f ) - (∑ fx  / ∑f )2
                            =  (2938/25) – (138/25)2
                            = 117.52 – (5.52)2
                            = 117.52-30.47 = 87.05
    Step 3:  Standard Deviation (σ) = √ VARIANCE
                                                  = √ 87.05= 9.33
    Dispersion of the given data in the term of variance and standard are 87.05 and 9.33.

    VARIANCE (σ2) = ∑ (X- µ)2 / N
                            = (0.73+124.09+66.25+9.86+.019+8.18+355.69) / 7
                            = 564.819/7 = 80.68
    Step 3:  Standard Deviation (σ) = √ VARIANCE
                                                  = √ 80.68 = 8.98
    Dispersion of the given data in the term of variance and standard are 80.68 and 8.98.

    VARIANCE (σ2) = ∑ (X- µ)2 / N
                            = (21.81+2.79+.11+28.41+106.71+93.51) / 6
                            = 106.7089/6= 17.78
    Step 3:  Standard Deviation (σ) = √ VARIANCE
                                                  = √ 17.78= 4.21

    Step 1: first we find the Mean of data
    µ = (30+50+40+60+80+70+55+65) / 8 
       = 450/8 = 56.25
    Step 2: now we measure the variance of Set of given data

    VARIANCE (σ2) = ∑ (X- µ)2 / N
                            = (689.06+39.06+264.06+14.06+564.06+189.06+1.56+76.56) / 8
                            = 1837.48/ 8 = 229.68
    Step 3:  Standard Deviation (σ) = √ VARIANCE
                                                  = √ 229.68= 15.16.

      µ = (14+10+15+7+40+16) / 6
        = 102/6 = 17
    Step 2: Now we measure the variance of Set of given data

    Calculate the standard deviation for the given data: 15, 9, 18, 3, 8, 11, 14, 16, 4, 10 and 2?

    We know that the formula for Standard Deviation is:  
           S = √∑(x – x’)2
                       N
    where‘s’ is the standard deviation,
     x is value in the data Set;
     x’ is the Mean of the values;
     N is the number of the values.
     Now we can Calculate the standard deviation step by step:
    For finding the standard deviation it is necessary to find the mean to the given data.
    The formula for the finding the mean is:
          X = ∑x,
                   N
    Here in this above formula we can also solve the value of sigma or we can say the sum of all the given data.
    = x1+ x2+ x3 + x4 …. + xN
                                    N       
    = 15 + 9 + 18 + 3 + 8 + 11 + 14 + 16 + 4 + 10 + 2;
                             11
     On further solving we get:
     = 110,
         11
     = 10;
    So the mean value is 10;
    Now we calculate x – x’ from the given data:
    X1 – x = 15 – 10 = 5;
    X2 – x = 9 – 10 = -1;
    X3 – x = 18 – 10 = -8; 
    X4 – x = 3 – 10 = -7;
    X5 – x = 8 – 10 = -2;
    X6 – x = 11 – 10 = 1;
    X7 – x = 14 – 10 = 4;
    X8 – x = 16 – 10 = 6;
    X9 – x = 4 – 10 = -6;
    X10 – x = 10 – 10 = 0;
    X11 – x = 2 – 10 = -8;
     
    Now we have to calculate ∑(X – x’)2;
    ∑(X – x’)2 = (X1 – x’)2 + (X2 – x’)2 +… (Xn – x’)2
                                               
     = (5)2 + (-1)2 + (-8)2 + (-7)2 + (-2)2 + (1)2 + (4)2 + (6)2 + (-6)2 + (0)2 +
    (-8)2;
    = 25 + 1 + 64 + 49 + 4 + 1 + 16 + 36 + 36 + 0 + 64 = 296;
     Now put all the values in the formula:
       S = √∑(x – x’)2,
                    N
          = √ 296,
                  11
          = √296
                 11
    On further solving we get √32.88
    On further solving the value we get:        
             = 5.73
    So the value of standard deviation is 5.73.

    Calculate the standard divination for the given data: 5, 9, 8, 3, 7, 1 and 2?

    We know that the formula for Standard Deviation is:  
           S = √∑(x – x’)2
                        N
    In the given standard deviation formula‘s’ is the standard deviation,
     x is value in the data Set;
     x’ is the Mean of the values;
    ‘N’ is the number of the values.
    Now we can Calculate the standard deviation step by step:
    For finding the standard deviation it is necessary to find the mean to the given data.
    The formula for the finding the mean is:
          X = ∑x,
                   N
    Here in this above formula we can also solve the value of sigma or we can say the sum of all the given data.
    = x1+ x2+ x3 + x4 …. + xN,
                         N       
    = 5 + 9 + 8 + 3 + 7 + 1 + 2;
                      7
     On further solving we get:
     = 35
         7
     = 5;
    So the mean value is 5;
    Now we calculate x – x’ from the given data:
    X1 – x = 5 – 5 = 0;
    X2 – x = 9 – 5 = 4;
    X3 – x = 8 – 5 = 3; 
    X4 – x = 3 – 5 = -2;
    X5 – x = 7 – 5 = 2;
    X6 – x = 1 – 5 = -4;
    X7 – x = 2 – 5 = -3;
    Now we have to calculate ∑(X – x’)2;
    ∑(X – x’)2 = (X1 – x’)2 + (X2 – x’)2 +… (Xn – x’)2,
                                               
     = (0)2 + (4)2 + (3)2 + (-2)2 + (2)2 + (-4)2 + (-3)2;
    = 0 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 4 + 16 + 9 = 58;
     Now put all the values in the standard deviation formula:
       S = √∑(x – x)2,
                   N 
          = √ 58,
                  7
          = √58,
                7
    On further solving we get:
        = √8.2
    On further solving the value we get:        
             = 2.86
    So the value of standard deviation is 2.86.

    Calculate the standard deviation for values 5, 4, 8, 10, 9, 4 and 2?

    We know that the formula for Standard Deviation is:  
           S = √∑(x – x’)2
                       N
    Where, ‘s’ is the standard deviation,
    ‘x’ is value in the data Set;
    x’ is the Mean of the values;
    ‘N’ is the number of the values.
    Now we will Calculate the standard deviation step by step:
    For finding the standard deviation, it is necessary to find the mean of the given data.
    The formula for the finding the mean is:
          X’ = ∑x,
                   N
    or             
    x’ = x1+ x2+ x3 + x4 …. + xN
                                    N       
    = 5 + 4 + 8 + 10 + 9 + 2 + 4;
                      7
     On further solving we get:
     = 42
         7
     = 6;
    So the mean value is 6;
    Now we calculate x – x’ from the given data:
    X1 – x = 5 – 6 = -1;
    X2 – x = 4 – 6 = -2;
    X3 – x = 8 – 6 = 2; 
    X4 – x = 10 – 6 = 4;
    X5 – x = 9 – 6 = 3;
    X6 – x = 2 – 6 = -4;
    X7 – x = 4 – 6 = -2;
    Now we have to calculate ∑(X – x’)2;
    ∑(X – x’)2 = (X1 – x’)2 + (X2 – x’)2 +… (Xn – x’)2,
                                               
     = (-1)2 + (-2)2 + (2)2 + (4)2 + (3)2 + (-3)2 + (-2)2;
    = 1 + 4 + 4 + 16 + 9 + 16 + 4 = 54;
     Now put all the values in the standard deviation formula:
       S = √∑(x – x’)2,
                   N 
          = √ 54,
              7 – 1
          = √54,
                6
    On further solving the value we get:        
             = √9
    So the value of standard deviation is 3.
