Q 11 . If M is the mean of x1,x2,x3,x4,x5 and x6 , Prove that
(x1−M)+(x2−M)+(x3−M)+(x4−M)+(x5−M)+(x6−M) = 0.
SOLUTION :
Let M be the mean of x1,x2,x3,x4,x5 and x6
= x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6 = 6M
To Prove :- (x1−M)+(x2−M)+(x3−M)+(x4−M)+(x5−M)+(x6−M) = 0.
Proof :- L . H . S
= (x1−M)+(x2−M)+(x3−M)+(x4−M)+(x5−M)+(x6−M)
= (x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6)−(M+M+M+M+M+M)
= 6M – 6M
= 0
= R . H . S
Q 12 . Duration of sunshine(in hours) in Amritsar for first 10 days of August 1997 as reported by the Meterological Department are given as follows : 9.6 , 5.2 , 3.5 , 1.5 , 1.6 , 2.4 , 2.6 , 8.4 , 10.3 , 10.9
1. Find the mean
2.Verify that
SOLUTION :
Duration of sunshine (in hours ) for 10 days are =9.6 , 5.2 , 3.5 , 1.5 , 1.6 , 2.4 , 2.6 , 8.4 , 10.3 , 10.9
= 56/10 = 5.6
= (9.6−5.6)+(5.2−5.6)+(3.5−5.6)+(1.5−5.6)+(1.6−5.6)+(2.4−5.6)+(2.6−5.6)+(8.4−5.6)+(10.3−5.6)+(10.9−5.6)
= 4 – 0.4 – 2.1 – 4.1 – 4 – 3.2 – 3 + 2.8 + 4.7 + 5.3
= 16.8 – 16.8 = 0
= R.H.S
