The average age of

$12$ children is

$20$ years. If the age of one more child is added, the average is decreased by

$1$ . What is the age of the child added later ?

0%
$9$ years
0%
$8$ years
0%
$7$ years
0%
$6$ years

Explanation

Let the age of child added later be

$x$ years.

average age of

$12$ children

$= 20 \text{ years}$

$\therefore$ Total age of

$12$ children

$= 20 \times 12 = 240 \text{ years}$

After one more child is added-

Average of

$13$ children

$= 20 - 1 = 19 \text{ years}$

Average age of

$13$ children

$= \cfrac{\text{sum of 12 children} + x}{13}$

$19 = \cfrac{240 + x}{13}$

$\Rightarrow 240 + x = 247$

$\Rightarrow x = 247 - 240 = 7 \text{ years}$

Hence the age of child added later is

$7$ years.

Explanation

Descending order arranged data will be as follows:

Physics:

$72,62,60,56,52,40,39,30$

Mathematics:

$78,70,65,62,60,54,38,32,31$

Thus data will be

Physics $(P)$

Mathematics $(M)$

Rank $(P)$

$|d|$

$d^2$

$n=9,\quad \sum d^2=40$

$r=1-\cfrac{6\sum d^2}{n(n^2-1)}=1-\cfrac{40\times 6}{9(9^2-1)}=1-\cfrac{240}{720}=0.66$

Since $r>0$ we can say that this indicate a moderate positive relationship between marks of physics and mathematics.

$N=09$

Cov $(x,y)=\cfrac{\sum XY}{N}-\cfrac{\sum X}{N}.\cfrac{\sum Y}{N}=\cfrac{7502}{09}-\cfrac{218}{9}.\cfrac{235}{9}=201.08$

$\sigma_x=\sqrt{\cfrac{\sum X^2}{N}-\left(\cfrac{\sum X^2}{N}\right)^2}=\sqrt{\cfrac{7102}{09}-\left(\cfrac{218}{09}\right)^2}=14.22$

$\sigma_y=\sqrt{\cfrac{\sum Y^2}{N}-\left(\cfrac{\sum Y^2}{N}\right)^2}=\sqrt{\cfrac{8129}{09}-\left(\cfrac{235}{9}\right)^2}=14.88$

$r=\cfrac{Cov(x,y)}{\sigma_x.\sigma_y}=\cfrac{201.08}{14.22\times 14.88}=0..95$

Explanation

$x\\ 1\\ 2\\ 3\\ 4\\ 5\\ 6\\ 7\\ 8\\ 9\\ 10\\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ \sum { x=55 }$

$y\\ 3\\ 10\\ 5\\ 1\\ 2\\ 9\\ 4\\ 8\\ 7\\ 6\\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ \sum { y=55 }$

$X=x-\overline { x } \\ -4.5\\ -3.5\\ -2.5\\ -1.5\\ -0.5\\ \quad 0.5\\ \quad 1.5\\ \quad 2.5\\ \quad 3.5\\ \quad 4.5\\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ \quad 0$

$XY\\ \quad 11.25\\ -15.75\\ \quad 1.25\\ \quad 6.75\\ \quad 1.75\\ \quad 1.75\\ -1.25\\ \quad 6.25\\ \quad 1.75\\ \quad 2.25\\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ \quad 16\\$

${ \quad X }^{ 2 }\\ 20.25\\ 12.25\\ 06.25\\ 02.25\\ 00.25\\ 00.25\\ 02.25\\ 06.25\\ 12.25\\ 20.25\\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ 82.50$

Therefore,

$\overline { x } =\cfrac { 55 }{ 10 } \\ \quad =5.5$

$\cfrac { \sum { y } }{ 10 } =5.5$

Therefore,

$r=\cfrac { \sum { XY } }{ \sqrt { \sum { { X }^{ 2 }\sum { { Y }^{ 2 } } } } } \\ =\cfrac { 16 }{ 82.5 } \\ =0.19$

Explanation

Let the ranks of students obtained in Maths be

$x$ and the ranks of students obtained in Biology be

$y$ .

$x$	$4$	$8$	$5$	$3$	$1$	$2$	$10$	$7$	$6$	$9$

$d^2$	$9$	$16$	$0$	$9$	$1$	$1$	$4$	$4$	$1$	$1$
					$\sum d^2$ $=46$

The rank correlation coefficient is given by
