General Instructions

  • All questions are compulsory.
  • Section A carries 1 mark each, Section B 2 marks, Section C 3 marks and Section D 5 marks.
  • Show all working for Sections B, C and D. Only final answers are given at the end — for full solutions, raise your doubts with your teacher.
Section A — Multiple Choice Questions 5 × 1 = 5 marks
1.
CV $=$
  • A.$\dfrac{\sigma}{\bar x}\times100$
  • B.$\dfrac{\bar x}{\sigma}\times100$
  • C.$\sigma\bar x$
  • D.$\sigma+\bar x$
2.
The series with the higher CV is:
  • A.more consistent
  • B.more variable
  • C.equal
  • D.smaller
3.
The CV is measured in:
  • A.units of data
  • B.percent
  • C.square units
  • D.degrees
4.
To compare consistency we use:
  • A.range
  • B.CV
  • C.mode
  • D.sum
5.
Lower CV means the data is:
  • A.more variable
  • B.more consistent
  • C.larger
  • D.negative
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks) 4 × 2 = 8 marks
6.
Find the CV if mean $=50$ and SD $=5$.
7.
Find the CV if mean $=20$ and SD $=4$.
8.
Which is more consistent: CV $12\%$ or CV $18\%$?
9.
If mean $=40$ and CV $=25\%$, find the SD.
Section C — Short Answer (3 marks) 4 × 3 = 12 marks
10.
Series A has mean $60$, SD $6$; series B has mean $80$, SD $12$. Find both CVs and state which is more consistent.
11.
The mean of a series is $25$ and the SD is $5$. Find the CV.
12.
If CV $=40\%$ and SD $=8$, find the mean.
13.
A data set has mean $100$ and variance $64$. Find the CV.
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks) 2 × 5 = 10 marks
14.
Batsman A: mean $50$, SD $5$; batsman B: mean $40$, SD $6$. Determine who is more consistent.
15.
For data with mean $18$ and variance $36$, find the CV; then find the new CV if every value is increased by $4$.

Answer Key

Section A — Multiple Choice Questions
  1. (A) $\dfrac{\sigma}{\bar x}\times100$
  2. (B) more variable
  3. (B) percent

Section C — Short Answer (3 marks)
  1. A: $10\%$, B: $15\%$; A is more consistent.
  2. $20\%$.
  3. $20$.
  4. $8\%$.
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks)
  1. A (CV $10\%$) is more consistent than B (CV $15\%$).
  2. Original CV $\approx33.33\%$; new CV $\approx27.27\%$.
