Question

Following data gives no. of goals scored by a team in 100 matches:

No. of goals scored 0 1 2 3 4 5
No. of matches 15 20 25 15 20 5

Compute the variance and standard deviation for the above data.

Sum

Solution

We prepare the following table for the calculation of variance and S.D:

No. of goals scored
(xi)
No. of matches
(fi)
fixi fixi2
0 15 0 0
1 20 20 20
2 25 50 100
3 15 45 135
4 20 80 320
5 5 25 125
Total N = 100 `sum"f"_"i""x"_"i"` = 220 `sum"f"_"i""x"_"i"^2` = 700

`bar"x" = (sum"f"_"i""x"_"i")/"N" = 220/100` = 2.2

Var (X) = `sigma_"x"^2`

= `(sum"f"_"i""x"_"i"^2)/"N" - (bar"x")^2`

= `700/100 - (2.2)^2`

= 7 - 4.84
= 2.16

S.D. = `sigma_"x"`
= `sqrt("Var (X)")`
= `sqrt(2.16)`
