Question
A man spends 20% of his monthly salary on rent and 35%
on other expenses. He invests the remaining salary in shares and fixed deposits in the ratio of 7:5. If the difference between his annual investments in shares and fixed deposits is Rs. 19,800, find the amount he spends on rent each month.Solution
Man invests 20%+35% = 55%, rest 45% of his salary he uses to invest Let the monthly money invested on shares and fixed deposits are 7x and 5x respectively. 7x-5x = 19800/12 = 1650 2x = 1650 X = 825 12x = 9900 45% of his salary = 9900 Spend on rent = 20% = 9900/45×20 = 4400

The "standard deviation" is the square root of which other statistical measure?
In numerical computing, what type of error occurs when a continuous function is approximated by a discrete sum or a finite number of terms?
Which numerical method approximates the definite integral of a function by dividing the area under the curve into trapezoids?
What does a p-value less than a significance level (e.g., 0.05) typically indicate in hypothesis testing?
Which statistical measure quantifies the average squared deviation of each data point from the mean?
