In a series of $$2n$$ observations, half of them equals $$'a'$$ and remaining equals $$'- a'.$$ If S.D. is $$2$$, then $$\left| a \right|$$ equals :
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{For Group A :}} \cr
& {\text{Coefficient of variation}} \cr
& C{V_A} = \frac{{{\text{S}}{\text{.D}}{\text{.}}}}{{{\text{Mean}}}} = \frac{{10}}{{22}} = 0.4545 \cr
& {\text{For Group B :}} \cr
& C{V_B} = \frac{{12}}{{23}} = 0.522 \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{Group A is less variable}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$

The average marks of boys in class is 52 and that of girls is 42. The average marks of boys and girls combined is 50. The percentage of boys in the class is
As given, $$np = 4$$ and $$npq = 3$$
[where $$p$$ is the probability of success and $$q$$ is the probability of failure for an event to occur, and $$'n'$$ is the number of trials]
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow q = \frac{{npq}}{{np}} = \frac{3}{4} \cr
& {\text{Also, }}p = 1 - q = 1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \cr
& \therefore \,n = 16 \cr} $$
In a binomial distribution, the value of $$r$$ for which $$P\left( {X = r} \right)$$ is maximum is the mode of binomial distribution.
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Hence, }}\left( {n + 1} \right)p - 1 \leqslant r \leqslant \left( {n + 1} \right)p \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{17}}{4} - 1 \leqslant r \leqslant \frac{{17}}{4} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{13}}{4} \leqslant r \leqslant \frac{{17}}{4} \cr
& \Rightarrow 3.25 \leqslant r \leqslant 4.25 \cr
& \Rightarrow r = 4 \cr} $$

Let $${x_1},{x_2},......\,{x_n}$$ be $$n$$ observations such that $$\sum {x_i^2 = 400\,\,{\text{and }}\sum {{x_i} = 80.} } $$ Then the possible value of $$n$$ among the following is
We know that for positive real numbers $${x_1},{x_2},......\,{x_n}$$ A.M. of $${k^{th}}$$ power of $$x{'_i}s \geqslant {k^{th}}$$ the power of A.M. of $$x{'_i}s$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{\sum {x_1^2} }}{n} \geqslant {\left( {\frac{{\sum {{x_1}} }}{n}} \right)^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{400}}{n} \geqslant {\left( {\frac{{80}}{n}} \right)^2} \cr} $$
$$ \Rightarrow \,\,n \geqslant 16.$$ So only possible value for $$n$$ = 18
