Suppose a population A has 100 observations `101,102,................,200` and another population B has 100 observations `151,152,........250.` If `V_A and V_B` represent the variances of the two populations respectively, then `V_A/V_B` is

A

1

B

`9//4`

C

`4//9`

D

`2//3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`sigma^(2)=(sum d_(i)^(2))/(n)` (Here deviations are taken from the mean.)
Since both A and B have 100 consecutive integers, they have the same standard deviation and hence variance. Therefore,
`(V_(A))/(V_(B))=1 ` (As `sum d_(i)^(2)` is same in both the cases.)

In a photoelectric experiment under conditions of saturation current , we consider two different cross - section A and B as shown. Here , v_A and v_B represent the average speed of electrons at the two cross - sections .

A situation is shown in which two objects A and B start their motion from same point in same direction. The graph of their velocities against time is drawn. u_A and u_B are the initial velocities of A and B respectively. T is the time at which their velocities become equal after start of motion. You cannot use the data of one question while solving another question of the same set. So all the questions are independent of each other. 6. Let v_A and v_B be the velocities of the particles A and B respectively at the moment A and B meet after start of the motion.
