The mean and standard deviation of 1010 observations are 2020 and 88 respectively. Later on, it was observed that one observation was recorded as 5050 instead of 4040. Then the correct variance is

Options

  1. A1111
  2. B1313
  3. C1212
  4. D1414

Correct answer

B. 1313

Step-by-step solution

Incorrect mean is

∑i=110xi10=20\dfrac{\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{10}{x}_{i}}{10} = 20

⇒∑i=110xi=200....(i)⇒ \mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{10}{x}_{i} = 200 . . . . \left(i\right)

So, corrected mean is

∑i=110xi−50+4010=200−1010=19\dfrac{\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{10}{x}_{i} - 50 + 40}{10} = \dfrac{200 - 10}{10} = 19

Incorrect variance is

∑i=110xi210−400=64\dfrac{\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{10}{x}_{i}^{2}}{10} - 400 = 64

⇒∑i=110xi2=4640⇒ \mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{10}{x}_{i}^{2} = 4640

Now, corrected variance is

=∑i=19xi2+402−50210−(19)2= \dfrac{\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{9}{x}_{i}^{2} + {40}^{2} - {50}^{2}}{10} - {\left(19\right)}^{2}

=4640−90010−(19)2=374−361=13= \dfrac{4640 - 900}{10} - {\left(19\right)}^{2} = 374 - 361 = 13
