The salaries for the staff of the XYZ Manufacturing Co. are shown here. Find the range.
- Find the ranges for the paints.
Solution W.P(1) : The range is: R = highest value - lowest value = $100,000 - $15,000 = $85,000
The range is: R = highest value - lowest value = 10 – 5 = 5
The range is: R = upper limit of the last class – lower limit of the first class = 14 – 5 = 9
Or The range is: R = 14.5 - 4.5 = 10

Solution W.P(4) : (use the shortcut formula)Step 1:
Step 2: !
- The variance is: 1.28 rounded.
- Hence, the sample standard deviation is: 1.13.
Using the frequency distribution for Example 2–7, find the mean. The data represent the number of miles run during one week for a sample of 20 runners.
The coefficient of variation, denoted by CVar, The formula for CVar is:
� �
The mean of the number of sales of cars over a 3-month period is 87, and the standard deviation is 5. The mean of the commissions is $5225, and the standard deviation is $773. Compare the variations of the two.
Solution W.P(6) :
The coefficients of variation are:
!
Since the coefficient of variation is larger for commissions, the commissions are more variable than the sales.
CoefficientofVariation(C.V)
For samples,
CVar = sX⋅100
For populations,
CVar = σµ⋅100
W.P(6) : 3-2 Example (3-25/p-132) : (Sales of Automobiles)
s1 =5 s2 =773X1 = 87 X2 = 5225
sales commissions
CVar = 587
⋅ 100 = 5.7% sales
CVar = 7735225
⋅ 100 =14.8% commissions

The number of yards gained in NFL playoff games by rookie quarterbacks is shown. a
- find the range, variance, and standard deviation and use the shortcut formula for the unbiased estimator to compute the variance and standard deviation.
Solution W.P(7) : (use the shortcut formula)
!
- The variance is: 1984.49 rounded.
- Hence, the sample standard deviation is: 44.55 rounded.
The following sample data reflect electricity bills for ten households in San Diego in March.
Compute the range, variance, and standard deviation for these sample data. Discuss which of these three measures you would prefer to use as a measure of variation.
Solution W.P(9) :
Step 1: !
Step 2:
Step 3: !
Solution W.P(9) : (use the shortcut formula) Step 1:
Ages of Accountants The average age of the accountants at Three Rivers Corp. is 26 years, with a standard deviation of 6 years; the average salary of the accountants is $31,000, with a standard deviation of $4000. Compare the variations of age and income. In a study of reaction times to a specific stimulus, a psychologist recorded these data (in seconds).
Solution W.P(10) :
The coefficients of variation are:
!
Since the coefficient of variation is larger for Age, the Age are more variable than the salary of the accountants.
