On rechecking it was found that an observation was read as10inplaceofin place of12 .IfIf\muandand{\sigma}^{2}denotethemeanandvarianceofthecorrectobservationsrespectively,thendenote the mean and variance of the correct observations respectively, then15(μ+μ2+σ2)\left(\mu + {\mu}^{2} + {\sigma}^{2}\right) is equal to _________.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given: Incorrect mean, x=12x = 12 and incorrect standard deviation, σ′=3{\sigma}^{'} = 3.

⇒Σxi15=12⇒ \dfrac{{Σx}_{i}}{15} = 12

⇒Σxi=180⇒ {Σx}_{i} = 180

Correct mean is given by,

μ=Σxi−10+1215\mu = \dfrac{{Σx}_{i} - 10 + 12}{15}

⇒μ=18215⇒ \mu = \dfrac{182}{15}

Also, σ′=∑xi215−144=3{\sigma}^{'} = \sqrt{\dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}^{2}}{15} - 144} = 3

⇒∑xi215=9+144⇒ \dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}^{2}}{15} = 9 + 144

⇒∑xi2=2295⇒ ∑ {x}_{i}^{2} = 2295

Correct Σxi2=2295−100+144=2339{Σx}_{i}^{2} = 2295 - 100 + 144 = 2339

σ2{\sigma}^{2} (correct variance) =233915−182×18215×15= \dfrac{2339}{15} - \dfrac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}

⇒15(μ+μ2+σ2)=15(18215+182×18215×15+233915−182×18215×15)⇒ 15\left(\mu + {\mu}^{2} + {\sigma}^{2}\right) = 15\left(\dfrac{182}{15} + \dfrac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15} + \dfrac{2339}{15} - \dfrac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}\right)

⇒15(μ+μ2+σ2)=15(18215+233915)⇒ 15\left(\mu + {\mu}^{2} + {\sigma}^{2}\right) = 15\left(\dfrac{182}{15} + \dfrac{2339}{15}\right)

⇒15(μ+μ2+σ2)=2521⇒ 15\left(\mu + {\mu}^{2} + {\sigma}^{2}\right) = 2521
