THEORY:-
Coefficient of Quartile Deviation
A relative measure of dispersion based on the quartile deviation is known as the coefficient of quartile
deviation. It is characterized as
31
Coefficient of Quartile Deviation =
3+1

SKEWNESS
Skewness is a measure of asymmetry in a distribution.

THEORY:-
MEAN DEVIATION FROM MEAN

The mean deviation (also called the mean absolute deviation) is the mean of the absolute deviations of a
set of data about the data's mean. For a sample size N, the mean deviation is defined by

MEAN DEVIATION ABOUT MEDIAN

The mean deviation from median is the mean of the absolute deviations of a set of data about the data's
median. For a sample size N, the mean deviation is defined by
1
Mean deviation from median= |( )|

FORMULA USED:-
FOR MEAN
SUMPRODUCT(C2:C9,D2:D9)/SUM(D2:D9)
FOR MEDIAN
A5+((B2-A2)/D5)*(F2-E4)
FOR MEAN DEVIATION FROM MEAN
SUM(G2:G9)/8
FOR MEAN DEVIATION FROM MEDIAN
SUM(H2:H9)/8
RESULT:-
MEAN 8
MEDIAN 7.8

AIM:- Calculate the coefficient of correlation between x and y from the following data and calculate
probable error.

THEORY:-
KARL PEARSON COEFFICIENT OF CORRELATION
 It is used to calculate the degree and direction of the relationship between linear related variables.

The value of the coefficient of correlation (r) always lies between 1. Such as:
r=+1, perfect positive correlation
r=-1, perfect negative correlation
r=0, no correlation

PROBABLE ERROR
The probable error (P.E.) is the value which is added or subtracted from the coefficient
of correlation (r) to get the upper limit and the lower limit respectively, within which the value of
the correlation expectedly lies.

FORMULA USED:-
FOR COEFFICIENT OF CORRELATION
SUM(G2:G9)/(B13*B14)
FOR PROBABLE ERROR
0.6745*(1-B15^2)/SQRT(8)
RESULT:-

COEF. OF CORRELLETION 0.97044

PROBABLE ERROR 0.01389

P.E UPPER LIMIT 0.98433
