3. The mean of 6 distinct observations is 6.5 and their variance is 10.25. If 4 out of 6 observations
are 2, 4, 5 and 7, then the remaining two observations are:
(1) 10, 11 (2) 8, 13 (3) 1, 20 (4) 3, 18

(Using formula for variance)
6(10.25)+6(6.5)2=94+a2+(21-a)2

a = 10 and (21-a) = 21 – 10 = 11
so, remaining two observations are 10, 11.
