Sample questions we need step by step solutions for.

1) Calculate arithmetic mean of:
a. Wages: 75, 100, 120, 150, 200 Total
b. Workers: 5, 12, 20, 14, 9 60
Mean=(75*5+100*12+120*20+150*14+200*9)/60=131.25

2) Calculate the median age:
a. Age Years (Less than): 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
b. No. of persons: 4, 16, 40, 76, 96, 112, 120, 125
Median is the middle value of data. Now there are 4+16+40+76+96+112+120+125=589 persons. The middle value occurs at 589/2 which the average of 294 and 295. Look at original data, median=60 because both 294th and 295th values are of age 60.

3) Calculate Spearman's Rank Correlation:
a. Trainees: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J
b. X Rank: 1, 6, 3, 9, 5, 2, 7, 10, 8, 4
c. Y Rank: 6, 8, 3, 7, 2, ...
