Statistical Analysis of Student Marks and Wages

The document presents a series of statistical problems involving frequency distributions, averages, and transformations of data. It includes calculations for missing frequencies, mean adjustments due to misread values, and the effects of linear transformations on means. Additionally, it compares the variability of wages between two firms using mean and variance data.

1.

Marks of 75 students are summarized in the following frequency distribution:

Marks Number of students


40-44 7
45-49 10
50-54 22
55-59 F4
60-64 F5
65-69 6
70-74 3

If 20% of the students have marks between 55 and 59:

i. Find the missing frequencies F4 and F5.


ii. Find the mean.
2. An average weight of 10 students was calculated to be 45. Latter it was discovered that one weight
was misread as 20 instead of 40 k.g. Calculate the correct average weight.
3. The mean of n Tetracycline Capsules X1, X2, …,Xn are known to be 12 gm. New set of capsules of
another drug are obtained by the linear transformation Yi = 2Xi – 0.5 (I = 1,2, …, n) then what will be
the mean of the new set of capsules?
4. Then mean of a set of numbers is 400.
a) If 20 is added to each of the numbers in the set, then what will be the mean of the new set?
b) If each of the numbers in the set are multiplied by -5, then what will be the mean of the new
set?
5. An analysis of the monthly wages paid (in Birr) to workers in two firms A and B belonging to the
same industry gives the following results:

Value Firm A Firm B


Mean Wage 45 42
Variance 81 100

In which firm A or B is there greater variability and more consistent in individual wages?
