Vedclass · Answer

(B) To determine the variability in individual wages,we compare the standard deviations of the two plants since their mean wages are equal. The variance of the distribution of wages in plant $A$ is $\sigma_{1}^{2} = 81$. Therefore,the standard deviation of the distribution of wages in plant $A$ is $\sigma_{1} = \sqrt{81} = 9$. The variance of the distribution of wages in plant $B$ is $\sigma_{2}^{2} = 100$. Therefore,the standard deviation of the distribution of wages in plant $B$ is $\sigma_{2} = \sqrt{100} = 10$. Since the average monthly wages in both plants are the same $(Rs. 2500)$,the plant with the greater standard deviation will have greater variability. Since $\sigma_{2} > \sigma_{1}$ $(10 > 9)$,plant $B$ has greater variability in individual wages.

\text{Parameter}	\text{Plant } $A$ \text{ and } $B$ \text{ Data}
\text{No. of workers}	$A: 500, B: 6000$
\text{Average monthly wages}	$A: Rs. 2500, B: Rs. 2500$
\text{Variance of distribution of wages}	$A: 81, B: 100$
