Statistical Methods Solutions

1. Set of Data (5, 9, 11, 15, 20)


Given Data: 5, 9, 11, 15, 20

Arithmetic Mean (x̄ )

Formula:
x̄ = Σx / n

Solution:
x̄ = (5 + 9 + 11 + 15 + 20) / 5
x̄ = 60 / 5
x̄ = 12

Geometric Mean (Ḡ)

Formula:
Ḡ = (5 × 9 × 11 × 15 × 20)^(1/5)

Solution:
Ḡ ≈ 11.42

Harmonic Mean (H̄ )

Formula:
H̄ = n / (Σ(1/x))

Solution:
H̄ ≈ 9.63

2. Frequency Distribution Table

Marks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Frequency: 5, 4, 6, 3, 2

Arithmetic Mean (x̄) ≈ 2.65


Geometric Mean (Ḡ) ≈ 2.52
Harmonic Mean (H̄ ) ≈ 1.97

3. Grouped Frequency Distribution

Weight (kg): 51-55, 56-60, 61-65, 66-70


Frequency: 2, 7, 8, 4

Arithmetic Mean (x̄) ≈ 61.33


Geometric Mean (Ḡ) ≈ 61.2
Harmonic Mean (H̄ ) ≈ 61.05

Conclusion

The statistical methods of Mean provide different ways of finding the central tendency of a
data set.
- Arithmetic Mean is the most commonly used method.
- Geometric Mean is suitable for growth rates.
- Harmonic Mean is used for rates and ratios.
