Hence, the value of the filler is SD. 

Q.41. IfNCERT Exemplar: Statistics | Mathematics (Maths) Class 11 - Commerceis the mean of n values of x, then NCERT Exemplar: Statistics | Mathematics (Maths) Class 11 - Commerceis always equal to _______. If a has any value other than NCERT Exemplar: Statistics | Mathematics (Maths) Class 11 - Commerce _________ than ∑(xi - a)2.
Ans. IfNCERT Exemplar: Statistics | Mathematics (Maths) Class 11 - Commerceis the mean of n observations of x, thenNCERT Exemplar: Statistics | Mathematics (Maths) Class 11 - Commerce and if ‘a’ has the value other thanNCERT Exemplar: Statistics | Mathematics (Maths) Class 11 - Commerce then NCERT Exemplar: Statistics | Mathematics (Maths) Class 11 - Commerceis less thanNCERT Exemplar: Statistics | Mathematics (Maths) Class 11 - Commerce
Hence, the value of the fillers are 0 and less.      

Q.42. If the variance of a data is 121, then the standard deviation of the data 
is _______.
Ans. We know that SD =NCERT Exemplar: Statistics | Mathematics (Maths) Class 11 - Commerce
Hence, the value of the filler is 11.

Q.43. The standard deviation of a data is ___________ of any change in origin, but is _____ on the change of scale.
Ans. Since the standard deviation of any data is independent of any change in origin but is dependent of any change of scale.     
Hence, the value of the fillers are independent and dependent.

Q.44. The sum of the squares of the deviations of the values of the variable is _______ when taken about their arithmetic mean.
Ans. The sum of the squares of the deviations of the value of variable is minimum when taken about their arithmetic mean.     
Hence, the value of the filler is minimum.

Q.45. The mean deviation of the data is _______ when measured from the median.
Ans. The mean deviation of the data is least when measured from the median.      Hence, the value of the filler is least.

Q.46. The standard deviation is _______ to the mean deviation taken from the arithmetic mean.
Ans. The standard deviations is greater than or equal to the mean deviation taken from the arithmetic mean.
Hence, the value of the filler is greater than or equal.

FAQs on NCERT Exemplar: Statistics - Mathematics (Maths) Class 11 - Commerce

1. What is the importance of studying statistics?
Ans. Studying statistics is important because it helps in making informed decisions based on data. It enables us to analyze and interpret data, identify trends, and make predictions. Statistics is used in various fields such as economics, business, healthcare, and social sciences to understand patterns and make evidence-based decisions.
2. How can statistics be used to describe data?
Ans. Statistics provides tools and techniques to describe data in a meaningful way. Measures of central tendency such as mean, median, and mode help summarize the typical values in a dataset. Measures of dispersion such as range, variance, and standard deviation describe the spread or variability of the data. Additionally, graphical representations like histograms and box plots can visually represent data distributions.
3. What are the different types of sampling techniques used in statistics?
Ans. In statistics, there are various sampling techniques used to gather data from a population. Some commonly used techniques include simple random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, and systematic sampling. Each technique has its own advantages and is chosen based on the research objectives, available resources, and population characteristics.
4. How do hypothesis testing and confidence intervals relate to statistics?
Ans. Hypothesis testing and confidence intervals are important concepts in statistics that help in making inferences about populations based on sample data. Hypothesis testing involves formulating a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis, collecting sample data, and using statistical tests to determine if there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Confidence intervals provide a range of values within which the population parameter is likely to lie, based on the sample data and a specified level of confidence.
5. Can statistics be used to analyze relationships between variables?
Ans. Yes, statistics can be used to analyze relationships between variables. Correlation analysis measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. Regression analysis goes a step further and helps in predicting the value of one variable based on the values of other variables. These techniques are widely used in fields like economics, social sciences, and market research to understand the relationship between variables and make predictions.
