* The part of mathematics that deals with collections of data, classificcation and

tabulation, interpretation of data is called Statistics.

* A table showing the distribution of frequencies in the different classes is

called a frequency table or frequency distribution.

i) Each class interval is bounded by two numbers called class limits. The

first number ‘I’ is known as lower limit and the second number ‘U’ is

known as upper limit.

Eg : In the classes 0-9, 10-19, 20-29..

the lower limit and upper limit of the class interval 10-19 are 10 and 19

respectively.

ii) If the upper limits of a class intervals are equal to the lower limits of

successive class intervals, then the limits are called exact limits or

exact bounds.

iii) The average of upper limit of a class and lower limit of the next class is

called Upper boundary of the former class. The upper boundary of a class

becomes lower boundary to the next class.

Eg: In the distribution 0-9, 10-19, 20-29 ..... the upper boundary of the class 20-29 is

29.5 and its lower boundary is 19.5

iv) In a data the difference between the maximum score is called range of the

data.
 Eg: Range of items 14, 26, 12, 17, 24 and 6. Range = max, score - min. score =26-6=20

v) In a grouped frequency distribution, the range is usually as difference

between the highest and lowest mid-values of the class intervals.

vi) In a frequency distribution, the sum of the frequencies from the beginning tothe upper

boundary of class is called less than cumulative frequency of the class.

than cumulative frequencies is known as less than cumulative frequency distribtion.

* Properties of Mean : If x1, x2, x3, ....., xa be n observations, with mean x , then
i) the algebraic sum of deviations from mean is zero.

i.e...  (x
i 1
1  x)  0

ii) If each observation is increased by a number p, then the mean is also increased by

p.i.e. mean of x1+p. x2 + p, x3+p,... xn+p

= x +p
 iii) If each observation is subtracted by a number p, then the mean is also gets

decreased by p. i.e., mean of x1-p, x2-p, x3-p, ... xn-p= x -p

iv) If each observations is multiplied by a non-zero number p, then the mean also

gets multiplied by p. i.e.. mean of x 1p, x2p, x3p... xnp= p x

v) If each observation is divided by a non-zero number ‘p’, then the mean

also gets divided by p. i.e., each of

* Mode : Mode is the size of variable which occurs most frequently.
* In discrete or ungrouped data, the modeis the variate having maximum frequency.
* Mode is also known as norm. Ex: Mode of 2,2,3,8,7,1,2 is ‘2’.
* The series which contains one mode is called ‘Unimodal Series’.
Ex: 1, 2, 3, 6, 3, 8, 14, 3, 2, 3
* The series which contains two modes iscalled ‘Bimodal series’.
Ex : 11,18,14, 13, 16, 13, 12, 11
* The series which contains three modes is called ‘Trimodal Series’.
Ex: 1,1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4.
* If a series has more than one mode, then the mode is said to be ill defined mode.

23. If the mean of a,b,c is M and ab + bc +ca = 0 then the mean of a 2+b2 - c2 is km2 find k

Class 9
Measures of Dispersion The variation of a data distribution is determined by means of the
following measures of dispersion.

1) Range 2) Quartile deviation 3) Mean deviation 4) Standard deviation

5) Variance

* Range : Range is the difference between the greatest and the least observations of the distri

bution. Thus, if A and B are the greatest and the smallest observations respectively
AB
in a distribution, then its range = A-B The coefficient of range =
AB
* Quartile Deviation (QD) : If Q1 and Q3 are the first and third quartiles of given
 Q3  Q1
data then its QD = So, Quartile deviation is the half of inter quartile range. And

it is called semi-inter quartile range. For Individual data, Q1 is   th item

and Q3 is 3   th item when n items are arranged in ascending order..

* For grouped data, for Q1, we will searchfor N/4 th item and for Q3, we will search for

3N/4 th item, where N is the sum of all frequencies, with the help of cummulative frequen

cies. For continuous data,

* Mean Deviation (M.D.) : Mean deviation is the mean of absolute deviations taken about

A.M. (or) median (or) mode of the given data.For individual data : Let x 1,x2,x3,..

xn be the n values of the variable x and if X is an average. Then M.D.

For continuous data: just replace x1 by m1, in the above formula, where m1 are the mid

values of the classes. Note : 1) Mean deviation is minimum when it is taken about median.

* Standard deviation (S.D.)  The standard deviation of variable X is the square root of the
A.M. of the squares of all deviations of X from the A.M. of the obesrvations and it is de

noted by  (Sigma).Thus, for individual data, if x 1, x2, x3, xn are the values in the given

data then SD =  =
