Definition of Linear Inequality
A Linear Inequality involves a linear expression in two variables by using any of the relational symbols such as <, >, ≤ or ≥
More about Linear Inequality
A linear inequality divides a plane into two parts. If the boundary line is solid, then the linear
inequality must be either ≥ or ≤. If the boundary line is dotted, then the linear
inequality must be either > or <.
Example of Linear Inequality
As the boundary line in the above graph is a solid line, the inequality must be either ≥ or ≤. Since the region below the line is shaded, the inequality should be ‘≤’. We can notice that the line y = - 2x + 4 is included in the graph; therefore, the inequality is y ≤ - 2x + 4. Any point in the shaded plane is a solution and even the points that fall on the line are also solutions to the inequality.
4x + 6y ≤ 12, x + 6 ≥ 14, 2x - 6y < 12 + 2x, 9y < 12 + 2x are the examples of linear inequalities.
Properties of Linear Inequalities :
Property 1 of Linear Inequalities :
Adding (or Subtracting) the same number to both sides of an Algebra Inequality does not change the order of the inequality sign ( i.e., '>', or '<'). i.e., if a < b then a + c < b + c and a - c < b - c Similarly, if a > b then a + c > b + c and a - c > b - c for any three numbers a, b, c.
Property 2 of Linear Inequalities :
Multiplying (or Dividing) both sides of an Algebra Inequality by the same positive number does not change the order of the inequality sign ( i.e., '>', or '<'). For any three numbers a, b, c where c > 0, (i) if a < b then ac < bc and a⁄c < b⁄c (ii) if a > b then ac > bc and a⁄c > b⁄c
Property 3 of Linear Inequalities :
If three numbers are related in such a way that the first is less (greater) than the second and the second is less (greater) than the third, then the first is less (greater) than the third. This is called transitive property.
Property 4 of Linear Inequalities :
If a and b are of the same sign and a < b (a > b), then 1⁄a > 1⁄b (1⁄a < 1⁄b). If reciprocals are taken to quantities of the same sign on
both sides of an inequality, then the order of the inequality is changed.
Additional properties of modulus function
Here, we enumerate some more properties of modulus of a real variable i.e. modulus of a real number.
Let x,y and z be real variables. Then :
|−x| = |x|
|x−y| = 0 ⇔ x=y
|x+y ≤ |x|+|y|
|x−y| ≥ ||x|−|y||
|xy| = |x|×|y|
| xy | = ¿ x∨ ¿
¿ y∨¿¿¿ , |y| ≠ 0
Modulus |x-y| represents distance of x from y. Also, we know that sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than third side. Combining these two facts, we write a general property for modulus involving real numbers as :
|x−y| < |x−z| + |z−y|
Square function
There is striking similarity between modulus and square function. Both functions evaluate to non-negative values.
y= |x| ;y≥0
y = x2 ;y≥0
Their plots are similar. Besides, they behave almost alike to equalities and inequalities. We shall not discuss each of the cases as done for the modulus function, but with a specific number (4 or -4). We shall enumerate each of the possibilities, which can be easily understood in the background of discussion for modulus function.
1: Equality
x2 = 4 ⇒ x = ±2
x2 = −4 ⇒ No solution
2: Inequality with non-negative number
A. Less than or less than equal to
x2 ≤ 4 ⇒ −2 ≤ x ≤ 2
B. Greater than or greater than equal to
x2 ≥ 4 ⇒ x ≤ −2 or x ≥ 2 ⇒ (−∞,−2)∪(2,∞)
3: Inequality with negative number
A. Less than or less than equal to
x2 ≤ −4 ⇒No solution
B. Greater than or greater than equal to
x2 ≥ −4 ⇒ Always true
**SOME IMPOTANT RESULTS:1. Let r be a positive real number & a be a fixed real number. Then, (i) |x-a| < r ⇔ a-r< x <a+r i.e., x∊ (a-r, a+r)(ii) |x-a| ≤ r ⇔ a-r≤ x ≤a+r i.e., x∊ [a-r, a+r](iii) |x-a| > r ⇔ x <a-r, or x > a+r(iv) |x-a| ≥ r ⇔ x ≤a-r , or x≥ a+r2. Let a, b be positive real numbers. Then (i) a<|x|<b ⇔ x ∊ (-b, -a)U (a,b)(ii) a≤|x|≤b ⇔ x ∊ [-b, -a]U [a,b](iii) a≤|x-c|≤b ⇔ x ∊ [-b+c, -a+c]U [a+c,b+c](iv) a<|x-c|<b ⇔ x ∊ (-b+c, -a+c)U (a+c,b+c)3. (i) |x| ≤ a ⇔ -a ≤x≤a , |x| ≥a ⇔ x ≥a or x≤ -a , a >0 (ii) If ab >0 or a/b >0 (b≠0) and a, b ∊ R; then a & b are of same sign, i.e., either both are positive or negative.(iii) ) If ab < 0 or a/b < 0 (b≠0) and a, b ∊ R; then a & b are of opposite sign.
**EXAMPLES: 1. ¿ X−2∨ ¿
X+3¿ < I ⇨ |X−2|−X−3
X+3 <0 , reduce into two
cases
Case1. X-2 ≥0 , so −5x+3 < 0 ⇨ x>-3 but x≥2, hence
x≥2
Case2. X-2≤ 0 , so – 2 x−1
x+3 < 0⇨ 2 x+1x+3 > 0 ⇨ 2x+1,
x+3 are of
same sign , so we get x > -1/2 & x >-3 [when both +ve] X < -1/2 , x< -3 [both are –ve]
Solutions are all real numbers less than -3 or ≥ 2 or -1/2 <x≤ 2.2. |x-2| ≥ 5 By above result , we get x ≤ 2-5 , or x ≥ 2+5 Solution is x ∊ (-∞, -3) U (7, ∞)3. 1 ≤ |x-2|≤ 3 By above result , we get x ∊ [-3+2, -1+2]U [1+2, 3+2]
Solving Linear Inequations using the Properties :
To solve linear inequation, collect terms containing unknown quantity (variable) on left side and constants on the right side. Then reduce the coefficient of the unknown quantity to unity. While doing this, remember the properties of the algebra inequalities.
Solved Example 1 : Linear Inequalities
Check whether x = 6 is a solution of 9x + 1 > 7x + 5
Solution: When x = 6, the L.H.S. of the inequation = 9x + 1 = 9(6)
+ 1 = 55 and the R.H.S. of the inequation = 7x + 5 = 7(6) + 1 =
43 We know 55 > 43. So x = 6 satisfies the given
inequation.∴ x = 6 is a solution of 9x + 1 > 7x + 5.
Solved Example 2 : Linear Inequalities
If the domain of the variable is N (the natural number set),
Dividing throughout by -3 (negative number division causes reversing of inequality
sign), we get ⇒ x ≥ 3. Ans. Since the domain is the set of Natural numbers,
x = { 3, 4, 5, 6, ..............}. Ans.
Solve x + 3 < 0.
If they'd given me "x + 3 = 0", I'd have known how to solve: I would
have subtracted 3 from both sides. I can do the same thing here:
Then the solution is:
x < –3

i) {x | x is a real number, x < –3}
...or:
ii) {x | x < –3}

number and x is less than minus three
ii) all x such that x is less than minus three
intervalthe interval from minus infinity to

graph either of the following graphs:
Solve x – 4 > 0.
If they'd given me "x – 4 = 0", then I would have solved by adding four to each side. I can do the same here:
Then the solution is: x > 4
Just as before, this solution can be presented in any of the four following ways:
notation format pronunciation
inequality x > 4 x is greater than or equal to four
set
i) {x | x is a real number, x > 4}
...or:
ii) {x | x > 4}
i) the set of all x, such that
x is a real number, and
x is greater than or equal to four
ii) all x such that x is greater than or equal to four
intervalthe interval from four to infinity,
inclusive of four
graph
either of the following graphs:
Graph the following inequality:
y > 2x - 1
Graph the following inequality:
2y 4x + 6
Rewrite the inequality first.y < 2x + 3
Solve the following system:
2x – 3y < 12 x + 5y < 20 x > 0
Just as with solving single linear inequalities, it is usually best to solve as many of the inequalities as possible for "y" on one side. Solving the first two inequalities, I get the rearranged system:
y > ( 2/3 )x – 4 y < ( – 1/5 )x + 4 x > 0 Copyrig
ap
The last inequality is a common "real life" constraint: only allowing x to be positive. The line "x = 0" is just the y-axis, and I want the right-hand side. I need to remember to dash the line in, because this isn't an "or equal to" inequality, so the boundary (the line) isn't included in the solution:
The "solution" of the system is the region where all the inequalities are happy; that is, the solution is where all the inequalities work, the region where all three individual solution regions overlap. In this case, the solution is the shaded part in the middle:
el Solve the following system:
2x – y > –3 4x + y < 5
As usual, I first want to solve these inequalities for "y". I get the rearranged system:
y < 2x + 3 y < –4x + 5
The solution is the lower region, where the two individual solutions overlap.
The kind of solution displayed in the above example is called "unbounded", because it continues forever in at least one direction (in this case, forever downward).
First I solve for y, and get the equivalent system:
y > x + 2 y < x – 2
Then I graph the first inequality:
...and then the second:
But there is no place where the individual solutions overlap. (Note that the lines y = x + 2 and y = x – 2 never intersect, being parallel lines with different y-intercepts.) Since there is no intersection, there is no solution.

Statistics1. Statistics deals with collection presentation, analysis and interpretation of the data. 2. Data can be either ungrouped or grouped. Further, grouped data could be categorized into: (a) Discrete frequency distribution, (b) Continuous frequency distribution.
3. Data can be represented in the form of tables or in the form of graphs. Common graphical forms are: Bar charts,pie diagrams, histograms, frequency polygons ogives, etc. 4. First order of comparison for the given data is the measures of central tendencies. Commonly used measures are (i) Arithmetic mean (ii) Median(iii) Mode. 5. Arithmetic mean or simply mean is the sum of all observations divided by the number of observations. It cannot be determined graphically. Arithmetic mean is
not a suitable measure in case of extreme values in the data. 6. Median is the measure which divides the data in two equal parts. The median is the middle term when the data is sorted. Incase of odd observations the middle observation is median. In case of even observations the median is the average of the two middle observations. 7. Median can be determined graphically. It does not take into account all the observations. 8. The mode is the most frequently occurring observation. For a frequency distribution mode may or may not be defined uniquely. Get the
9. Measures of central tendencies namely mean, median and mode provide us with a single value which is the representative of the entire data. These three measures try to condense the entire data into a single central value 10. Central tendencies indicate the general magnitude of the data. 11. Two frequency distributions may have same central value but still they have different spread or they vary in their variation from central position. So it is important to study how the other observations are scattered around this central position. 12. Two distributions with same mean can have different spread as shown below. 13. Variability or dispersion captures the spread of data. Dispersion helps us to differentiate the data when the measures of central tendency are the same. 14. Like ‘measures of central tendency’ gives a single value to describe the magnitude of data. Measures of dispersion gives a single value to describe variability. 15. The dispersion or scatter of a dataset can be measured from two perspectives:
(i) Taking the order of the observations into consideration, two measures are:
(a) Range
(b) Quartile Deviation
(ii)Taking the distance of each observation from the central position, yields two measures, (a) Mean deviation, (b) Variance and Standard deviation
16. Range is the difference between the highest and the lowest observation in the given data. Get the
The greater the range is for a data, its observations are far more scattered than the one whose range is smaller. 17. The range at best gives a rough idea of the variability or scatter. 18. Quartile divides the data into 4 parts. There are three quartiles namely Q1 Q2 Q3 and Q2 is the median
only.
19. The quartile deviation is one-half of the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile. 20. If x1, x2, … xn are the set of points and point a is the
mean of the data. Then the quantity xi –a is called the
deviation of xi from mean a. Then the sum of the deviations from mean is always zero. 21.In order to capture average variation we must get rid of the negative signs of deviations. There are two remedies
Remedy I: take the Absolute values of the deviations. Remedy II: take the squares of the deviation. 22. Mean of the absolute deviations about a gives the ‘mean deviation about a’, where a is the mean. It is denoted as M.D. (a). Therefore, M.D.(a) = Sum of absolute values of deviations from the mean 'a ' divided by the number of observations. Mean deviation can be calculated about median or mode or any other observations. 23. Merits of mean deviation (1) It utilizes all the observations of the set. (2) It is least affected by the extreme values. (3) It is simple to calculate and understand. 24. Mean deviation is the least when calculated about the median. If the variations between the values is very high, then the median will not be an appropriate central tendency representative. 26. Measure of variation based on taking the squares of the deviation is called the variance. 27. Let the observations are x1, x2, x3,..,xn let mean = x Squares of deviations: 2 d()=−iixx Case 1: The sum di is zero. This will imply that all observations are equal to the mean x bar. Case 2: The sum di is relatively small. This will imply that there is a lower degree of dispersion. And case three Case 3: The sum di is large. There seems to be a high degree of dispersion. 28. Variance is given by the mean of squared deviations. If variance is small the data points are clustering around mean otherwise they are spread across. 29. Standard deviation is simply expressed as the positive square root of variance of the given data set. Standard deviation of the set of observations does not change if a non-zero constant is added or subtracted from each observations. 30. Variance takes into account the square of the deviations. Hence, the unit of variance is in square units of observations.
For standard deviation, its units are the same as that of the observations. That’s the reason why standard deviation is preferred over variance. 31. Standard deviation can help us compare two sets of observations by describing the variation from the "average" which is the mean. Its widely used in comparing the performance of two data sets. Such as two cricket matches or two stocks. In Finance it is used to access the risk associated with a particular mutual fund.
33. A measure of variability which is independent of the units is called as coefficient of variation. It is denoted as C.V. It is given by the ratio of σ the standard deviation and the mean x bar of the data. 34. It is useful for comparing data sets with different units, and wildly varying means. But mean should be non zero. If mean is zero or even if it is close to zero the Coefficient of Variation fails to help. 35. Coefficient of Variation-a dimensionless constant that helps compares the variability of two observations with same or different units. Get the
Standard Deviation and Variance
Deviation just means how far from the normal
Standard Deviation
The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are.
Its symbol is σ (the greek letter sigma)
The formula is easy: it is the square root of the Variance. So now you ask, "What is the Variance?"
Variance
The Variance is defined as:
The average of the squared differences from the Mean.
To calculate the variance follow these steps:
Work out the Mean (the simple average of the numbers) Then for each number: subtract the Mean and then square the result
(the squared difference). Then work out the average of those squared differences. (Why
Square?)
Example
You and your friends have just measured the heights of your dogs (in millimeters):
The heights (at the shoulders) are: 600mm, 470mm, 170mm, 430mm and 300mm.
Find out the Mean, the Variance, and the Standard Deviation.
Your first step is to find the Mean:
Answer:
Mean = 600 + 470 + 170 + 430 + 300
= 1970
= 3945 5
so the mean (average) height is 394 mm. Let's plot this on the chart:
Now, we calculate each dogs difference from the Mean:
To calculate the Variance, take each difference, square it, and then average the result:
And the Standard Deviation is just the square root of Variance, so:
Standard Deviation: σ = √21,704 = 147.32... = 147 (to the nearest mm)
And the good thing about the Standard Deviation is that it is useful. Now we can show which heights are within one Standard Deviation (147mm) of
the Mean:
So, using the Standard Deviation we have a "standard" way of knowing what is normal, and what is extra large or extra small.
Rottweillers are tall dogs. And Dachsunds are a bit short ... but don't tell them!
Now try the Standard Deviation Calculator.
*Note: Why square ?
Squaring each difference makes them all positive numbers (to avoid negatives reducing the Variance)
And it also makes the bigger differences stand out. For example 1002=10,000 is a lot bigger than 502=2,500.
But squaring them makes the final answer really big, and so un-squaring the Variance (by taking the square root) makes the Standard Deviation a
much more useful number.
Accuracy and Precision
They mean slightly different things!
Accuracy
Accuracy is how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value.
Precision
Precision is how close the measured values are to each other.
Examples of Precision and Accuracy:

So, if you are playing soccer and you always hit the left goal post instead of scoring, then you are not accurate, but you are precise!

(in gm) of 50 plant products are given below:
Which is more varying, the length or weight?
Question 1:
The mean and variance of eight observations are 9 and 9.25, respectively. If six of the observations are 6, 7, 10, 12, 12 and 13, find the remaining two observations.
Question 2:
The mean and variance of 7 observations are 8 and 16, respectively. If five of the observations are 2, 4, 10, 12 and 14. Find the remaining two observations.
Question 3:
The mean and standard deviation of six observations are 8 and 4, respectively. If each observation is multiplied by 3, find the new mean and new standard deviation of the resulting observations.
Question 4:
Given that is the mean and σ2 is the variance of n observations x1, x2 … xn. Prove that the mean and variance of the observations ax1, ax2, ax3 …axn are and a2 σ2, respectively (a ≠ 0).
Question 5:
The mean and standard deviation of 20 observations are found to be 10 and 2, respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation 8 was incorrect. Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation in each of the following cases:
(i) If wrong item is omitted. (ii) If it is replaced by 12.
Question 6:
The mean and standard deviation of marks obtained by 50 students of a class in three subjects, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are given below:
Subject Mathematics Physics Chemistry
Mean 42 32 40.9
Standard deviation 12 15 20
Which of the three subjects shows the highest variability in marks and which shows the lowest?
Question 8:
The mean and standard deviation of a group of 100 observations were found to be 20 and 3, respectively. Later on it was found that three observations were incorrect, which were recorded as 21, 21 and 18. Find the mean and standard deviation if the incorrect observations are omitted.

2. Mean(x¿)¿ = 50, Mean deviation about mean =∑ x i−¿ x∨¿n
¿ = 8.4
4. Median(M) = (13+14)/2=13.5, Mean deviation about (M) =2.33
6. Mean = ( ∑ f i xi )/ ∑ f i = 4000/80 = 50,
Mean deviation about mean= ∑ f i ¿¿¿¿ =1280/80 =16
7. Median(M) = 7, Mean deviation = ∑f i(x¿¿ i−M )
∑ f i
¿ = 84/26 = 3.23
8. Median = 30, Mean deviation= 148/29 = 5.1
9. Mean(x) = a + hu , a=assumed mean , u =∑ f i ui )/ ∑ f i ,where
ui =¿¿- a)/h, h is class size.
x = 350 + [4x100/50 ]= 350+8 = 358
Mean deviation = 7896/50 = 157.92
10. Mean = 130+(-47x10/100) = 130 – 4.7 = 125.3
Mean deviation = 1128.8/100 = 11.288
11. Median = l + N2
−cf
f xh = 20+ (11x10)/14 = 390/14 = 27.8
Mean deviation = 517.8/50 = 10.356
3. Mean = (3+6+9+........+30)/10 = 165/10 = 16.5,variance=740.25/10= 74.025
6. Mean = 64, Standard deviation (σ) = √variance
Variance = ∑ (x¿¿ i−x )2
n¿ [ when frequency is not given]
Variance = ∑ f i(x¿¿ i−x )2
f i
¿ [ when frequency is given]
Variance = ¿ ,∑ f i = N
Short-cut method
Variance = h ²N ² [N∑ f i ui
2−¿¿ ] ,
We can use any one of above formulas (when frequency is given)
Variance = 2.86, Standard deviation (σ) = 1.69
1. assumed mean = 45, mean for A = 45 – 6x150/150= 39
Variance for A is 227.84 and mean for B is 39 , variance for B =243.84
2. x = 51, variance for x = 35
y = 105 , variance fo y = 4 , ∴ price of share y will be more stable∵ the variance of y is less than that of x.
4. C.V. (coefficient of variation) = (standard deviation)x100/Mean=
= σx × 100, x ≠ 0 [ used fo comparing the variability or dispersion of
two series, series having greater C.V. is said to be more variable than other )
Lowest coefficient of variation of maths. And highest coefficient of variation is of Chem., so chem.. shows highest variability & maths. Shows lowest variability.
8. ∑ x i = 2000, since wrong items are 21, 21 & 18 has been omitted then correct mean is (2000 – 60)/97 = 20, since incorrect mean & variance are 20 & 9
