Property 1: The sum of the

deviations of set of observations


from their
k
arithmetic mean is zero, i. e. Eficx; 0
Proof : Let x be the mean of xi with frequencies fi then

;(xi -x)= Efixi - x Xfi = n x. n x = 0, where n = vfi


i=1

Property 2: The arithmetic mean of a set of N constant observations A is A.

Proof: Let us consider N


constant obervations which
are A, SW. then
N

x = -Tr = -w =A.

Property 3: The sum of the


squares of the deviations of a set of
observations is minimum when the
deviations are taken about the
arithmetic mean i, e.
