Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Statistics and Probability Ex 8.1

10th Maths Exercise 8.1 Samacheer Kalvi Question 1.
Find the range and coefficient of range of the following data.
(i) 63, 89, 98, 125, 79, 108, 117, 68
(ii) 43.5, 13.6, 18.9, 38.4, 61.4, 29.8
Solution:
Range R = L – S.

L – Largest value,
S – Smallest value.

(i) 63, 89, 98, 125, 79, 108, 117, 68.
Here L = 125
S = 63
∴ R = L – S = 125 – 63 = 62

Exercise 8.1 Class 10 Samacheer Question 2.
If the range and the smallest value of a set of data are 36.8 and 13.4 respectively, then find the largest value.
Answer:
Range = 36.8
Smallest value (S) = 13.4
Range = L – S
36.8 = L – 13.4
L = 36.8 + 13.4 = 50.2
Largest value = 50.2

Ex 8.1 Class 10 Samacheer Question 3.
Calculate the range of the following data.

Solution:
Here the largest value = 650
The smallest value =400
∴ Range = L – S = 650 – 400
= 250

A wall clock strikes the bell once at 1 o’clock, 2 times at 2 o’clock, 3 times at 3 o’clock and so on. How many times will it strike in a particular day? Find the standard deviation of the number of strikes the bell make a day.
Solution:

10th Maths Exercise 8.1 Question 7.
Find the standard deviation of the first 21 natural numbers.
Solution:

10th Maths Ex 8.1 Question 8.
If the standard deviation of a data is 4.5 and if each value of the data is decreased by 5, then find the new standard deviation.
Answer:
The standard deviation of the data = 4.5
Each data is decreased by 5
The new standard deviation = 4.5

10th Maths 8.1 Question 9.
If the standard deviation of a data is 3.6 and each value of the data is divided by 3, then find the new variance and new standard deviation.
Solution:
If the standard deviation of a data is 3.6, and each of the data is divided by 3 then the new standard deviation is also divided by 3.
∴ The new standard deviation = 3.6/3
= 1.2
The new variance = (standard deviation)²
=σ²=1.2²=1.44
