8. The salaries of 100 employees of a company have a mean of $300 and a standard
deviation of $50. Two alternative increases are proposed: i) $75 each, ii) 15% of salary
plus $20 each, which alternative is more convenient.
a) If the company has only $37,000 to pay salaries?
b) If the company wants to homogenize salaries?

10. The average monthly salary paid by a company to its employees was $300 in June.
In July, a group of employees equal to 20$ of those in June and with an average salary
equal to $210 was incorporated. In August, the company granted a general increase of
15% of salaries plus $30.

a) Calculate the average salary of all employees in the month of August.

b) If in July the coefficient of variation was 0.04, how has this coefficient varied in
August with respect to July?

X = 300 (June)
Incorporo = 20%. salary = 210 = 210$ (June)

12. The cost C in dollars per operation in a clinic depends on the time X, in hours, that
the operation lasts, and is equal to:
C= 50 + 100x + 250 x2
Calculate the average cost of 30 operations if they had a mean and standard deviation
equal to 2 hours.
C = 50+ 100 x + 250X2
C1= 50 +100 (x) + 250 (2)2

14. The production cost X of a sample of a certain type of object has a standard
deviation of $30. The production cost is $250 for 60% of the sample and $200 for the
rest. If its selling price in dollars is given by the relationship Y = 1.1X + 10, calculate the
mean and variance of the sample sale.
S = $ 30
X = 250 60% (XT)
X2 = 200 40% (XT)

16. In an aptitude test applied to 100 people, the following information was obtained:
The scores were tabulated in a frequency distribution of 5 intervals of equal amplitude,
the minimum score being, 40 and the maximum, 90.
The absolute frequency of the central interval was 40 and of the fifth interval was 10.
The relative frequency of the first interval was 0.05 and that of the fourth interval was
0.15.
a) Calculate the quartiles 1, 2, 3 and using these measures analyze the
asymmetry.
b) Calculate the variance if each person is given a bonus of 10 points.
