EXPERIMENT-1

AIM: - TO CALCULATE MEAN, MEDIAN, MODE, STANDARD DEVIATION AND

VARIANCE FOR A GIVEN SET OF COMPONENT.

APPARATUS REOUIRED: - SCALE, GIVEN SET OF COMPONENTS

THEORY:-

1. MEAN: - Mean of Ungrouped data if z. X, y, z are then n values of variable z. then

arithmetic mean or mean is given by-
∑𝑥
X̅ = ( 𝑛 )

2. MEDIAN: - Median of ungrouped data arrange all observation either in ascending order or
descending order. It is the middle most number of the set of the data.
n+1
Median (for odd number of observations) = ( )
2
n+1 n
)+
(
2 2
Median (for even number of observations) =
2

3. MODE: - Mode for an ungrouped data, mode is the value that appears most frequently in a
set of data.

4. STANDAR DEVIATION: - It is also known as root mean square (R.MS) value of

collected data. It is calculated by calculating square root of sum of the square of difference
between individual collections to the mean value of collection.

5. VARIANCE: - It is the square of the R.M.S of the

collected data.

PROCEDURE: -
  Measure the length and diameter of the specimen.
 Note down the reading in a table in MS Excel in mm.
 Repeat the above step upto 50 different Screws and nails.
 Calculate mean, median, mode, standard deviation and variance of the obtained table.

PREACAUTIONS: -
1. Use parallax method to take readings on scale.
2. Take the readings carefully.
