Q 4.56: Find the standard deviation of the numbers: (a) 3,6,2,1,7,5; (b) 3.2,4.6,2.8,5.2,4.4;
(c) 0,0,0,0,1,1,1.
Ans. (a) 2.16,(b)0.90,(c)0.484
Q 4.57: (a) By adding 5 to each of the numbers in the set 3,6,2,1,7,5 we obtain the set
8,11,7,6,12,10. Show that the two sets have the same standard deviations but different means
how are the means related?
(b) By multiplying each of the numbers 3,6,2,1,7,5 by 2 and then adding 5, we obtain the set
11,17,9,7,19,15. What is the relationship between the standard deviations and the means for
the two sets?
(c) What properties of the mean and standard deviation are illustrated by the particular sets of
numbers in (a) and (b)?
Q 4.58: Find the standard deviation of the set numbers in the arithmetic progression
4,10,16,22,,154.
