Solution:
QUESTION: 25

If the range of x is 2, what would be the range of –3x +50?
Solution:

Correct Answer :- d

Explanation : Substituting x=2 in -3x+50

-3x+50 = -3(2)+50

= -6+50

= 44

Solution:
QUESTION: 29

If the relation between x and y is 5y–3x = 10 and the mean deviation about mean for x is 12, then the mean deviation of y about mean is
Solution:

5y-3x=10
x=12
5y-3×12=10
5y-36=10
5y=46
y=46/5
y=9.2

QUESTION: 30

If two variables x and y are related by 2x + 3y –7 =0 and the mean and mean deviation about mean of x are 1 and 0.3 respectively, then the coefficient of mean deviation of y about mean is
Solution:
QUESTION: 31

Solution:
QUESTION: 34

What is the coefficient of variation of the following numbers?

53, 52, 61, 60, 64.
Solution:

The coefficient of variation of the following numbers  53,52,61,60,64​ are,
Step 1:
To find the mean of the above numbers,
x = 53+52+61+60+64 / 5 = 290/5 = 58
Step 2:
To find Standard deviation.,
S = √53² +52²+61²+60²+64² / 5  - (58²)
 =√16390/5 -3364   = √3386-3364
=√22  = 4.69
Step 3 :
To find Coefficient of variation,
Coefficient of variation ( C. V) = ( S / X ) * 100
= ( 4.69 /58 ) * 100  = 0.0809 * 100
⇒8.09
