6. Question

The mean and variance of 8 observations are 9 and 9.25 respectively. If six of the observations are 6, 7, 10,
12, 12 and 13, find the remaining two observations.

Answer

Given, Mean of 8 observation is 9 and variance is 9.25.

To Find: Find the other two observation

Assumption: Let x and y be the other two observation. And Mean is 9

Here, Mean =

60+x+y=72

X+y=12 ……(1)

Now, Let Variance (X) be the variance of this observation which is to be 9.25

If is the mean than we get,

9.25 =
9.25 =

642+x2+y2=722

X2+y2 =80 ---(2)

(x+y)2+(x-y)2=2(x2+y2)

By Subsititute the value we get,

122+(x-y)2=2×80

(x-y)2=160-144

(x-y)2=14

x-y =±4 ……(3)

On solving equations (1) and (3) we get,

X= 8, 4

And y = 4,8

Hence, The other two observations are 8 and 4.

Now, we can compare both observation

a+k-n=a+k-(m+k)

a+k–n = a+k–m- k

a+k-n=a-m
Similary

b+k-n=b-m

c+k-n=c-m

d+k-n=d-m

e+k-n=e-m

when we substitute the values, we get,

S1 = S

Hence, The Sd is S

17. Question

The standard deviation of first 10 natural numbers is

A. 5.5

B. 3.87

C. 2.97

D. 2.87

Answer

First 10 natural numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

So, N =10

Hence, SD is 2.87

18. Question

Consider the first 10 positive integers. If we multiply each numbers by -1 and then add 1 to each number, the
variance of the numbers so obtained is

A. 8.25

B. 6.5
C. 3.87

D. 2.87

Answer

Consider 10 positive integer

Let Assume, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Now, If we multiply by -1 in each number we get,

-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-8,-9,-10

And then we add 1 in each number

0,-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-8,-9

Now,

Standard deviation

Hence, variance is 8.25

19. Question

Consider the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. It is added to each number, the variance of the numbers so
obtained is

A. 6.5

B. 2.87

C. 3.87

D. 8.25

Answer

Consider numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

If one is added to each number then, numbers will be

Let say xi = 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11

So, N= 10
Standard deviation

Hence, the variance is 8.25

20. Question

The mean of 100 observations is 50, and their standard deviations is 5. The sum of all squares of all the
observations is

A. 50,000

B. 250,000

C. 252500

D. 255000

Answer

Given,

=50×100

=5000

Now,

21. Question

Let x1, x2, ……xn, be n observations. Let yi = axi + b for I = 1, 2, ….., n, where a and b are constant. If the
mean of is 48 and their standard deviation is 12, the mean of is 55 and standard deviation of is
15, the values of a and b are

A. a = 1.25, b = -5

B. a = -1.25, b = 5
C. a = 2.5, b = -5

D. a = 2.5, b = 5

Answer

Mean(y) = a.mean(x) + b

Therefore,

55 = a.48 + b

We can see that only first option satisfies this equation. Therefore, a is the correct answer.

22. Question

A. 2

B. 2.57

C. 3

D. 3.57

Answer

Explanation: Mean

Mean Deviation =

Mean Deviation =

Hence, The MD is

23. Question
