Following are the marks obtained,out of 100 by two students Ravi and Hashina in 10 tests:
Ravi: | 25 | 50 | 45 | 30 | 70 | 42 | 36 | 48 | 35 | 60 |
Hashina: | 10 | 70 | 50 | 20 | 95 | 55 | 42 | 60 | 48 | 80 |
Who is more intelligent and who is more consistent?

Solution
For Ravi
Marks
\[\left( x_i \right)\]
|
\[d_i = x_i - 45\]
|
\[d_i^2\]
|
25 | −20 | 400 |
50 | 5 | 25 |
45 | 0 | 0 |
30 | −15 | 225 |
70 | 25 | 625 |
42 | −3 | 9 |
36 | −9 | 81 |
48 | 3 | 9 |
35 | −10 | 100 |
60 | 15 | 225 |
\[\sum_{} d_i = - 9\]
|
\[\sum_{} d_i^2 = 1699\]
|
\[X_R = A + \frac{\sum_{} d_i}{10} = 45 + \frac{\left( - 9 \right)}{10} = 44 . 1\]
Standard deviation,
\[\sigma_R = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{} d_i^2}{10} - \left( \frac{\sum_{} d_i}{10} \right)^2} = \sqrt{\frac{1699}{10} - \left( \frac{- 9}{10} \right)^2} = \sqrt{169 . 09} = 13 . 003\]
Coefficicent of variation = \[\frac{\sigma_B}{X_B} \times 100 = \frac{110}{770} \times 100 = 14 . 29\]
For Hashina
Marks
\[\left( x_i \right)\]
|
\[d_i = x_i - 55\]
|
\[d_i^2\]
|
10 | −45 | 2025 |
70 | 15 | 625 |
50 | −5 | 25 |
20 | −35 | 1225 |
95 | 40 | 1600 |
55 | 0 | 0 |
42 | −13 | 169 |
60 | 5 | 25 |
48 | −7 | 49 |
80 | 25 | 625 |
\[\sum_{} d_i = - 20\]
|
\[\sum_{} d_i^2 = 6368\]
|
Mean,
\[X_H = A + \frac{\sum_{} d_i}{10} = 55 + \frac{\left( - 20 \right)}{10} = 53\]
Standard deviation,
\[\sigma_H = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{} d_i^2}{10} - \left( \frac{\sum_{} d_i}{10} \right)^2} = \sqrt{\frac{6368}{10} - \left( \frac{- 20}{10} \right)^2} = \sqrt{632 . 8} = 25 . 16\]
Coefficicent of variation = \[\frac{\sigma_H}{X_H} \times 100 = \frac{25 . 16}{53} \times 100 = 47 . 47\]
Since the coefficient of variation in mark obtained by Hashima is greater than the coefficient of variation in mark obtained by Ravi, so Hashina is more consistent and intelligent.
