The mean and standard deviation of marks obtained by 50 students of a class in three subjects, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are given below:
Subject Mathematics Physics Chemistry
Mean 42 32 40.9
Standard Deviation 12 15 20
Which of the three subjects shows the highest variability in marks and which shows the lowest?
Solution:
The standard deviation of mathematics = 12
The standard deviation of Physics = 15
The standard deviation of Chemistry = 20
The coefficient of variation (C.V) is given by standard deviation/mean × 100
C.V (Mathematics)
= 12/42 × 100
= 28.57
C.V (Physics)
= 15/32 × 100
= 46.87
C.V (Chemistry)
= 20/40.9 x 100
= 48.89
The subject with greater C.V is more variable than others.
Therefore,
the highest variability in marks is in Chemistry and the lowest variability in marks is in Mathematics
