The mean and variance of 1010 observations were calculated as 1515 and 1515 respectively by a student who took by mistake 2525 instead of 1515 for one observation. Then, the correct standard deviation is _______.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given,

n=10n = 10 and mean x¯=∑xi10=15\overset{¯}{x} = \dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}}{10} = 15

⇒∑i=110xi=150⇒ \mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{10}{x}_{i} = 150

⇒∑i=19xi+25=150⇒ \mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{9}{x}_{i} + 25 = 150

⇒∑i=19xi=125⇒ \mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{9}{x}_{i} = 125

Now new sum will be ∑i=19xi+15=140\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{9}{x}_{i} + 15 = 140

So, actual mean =14010=14=x¯new= \dfrac{140}{10} = 14 = \overset{¯}{x}new

Now finding variance

∑xi210−(x¯)2=15\dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}^{2}}{10} - {\left(\overset{¯}{x}\right)}^{2} = 15

⇒∑xi210−152=15⇒ \dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}^{2}}{10} - {15}^{2} = 15

⇒∑i=110xi2=2400⇒ \mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{10}{x}_{i}^{2} = 2400

Removing observation of 2525 we get,

⇒∑i=19xi2+625=2400⇒ \mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{9}{x}_{i}^{2} + 625 = 2400

⇒∑i=19xi2=1775⇒ \mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{9}{x}_{i}^{2} = 1775

Now adding observation 1515 we get,

∑i=19xi2+152=2000=(∑xi2)actual\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{9}{x}_{i}^{2} + {15}^{2} = 2000 = {\left(∑ {x}_{i}^{2}\right)}_{actual}

Now calculating actual standard deviation we get,

σactual2=(∑xi2)actual10−(x¯new)2{\sigma}_{actual}^{2} = \dfrac{{\left(∑ {x}_{i}^{2}\right)}_{actual}}{10} - {\left(\overset{¯}{x}new\right)}^{2}

=200010−142= \dfrac{2000}{10} - {14}^{2}

=200−196=4= 200 - 196 = 4

Calculating standard deviation, (S.D)actual=4=2{\left(S . D\right)}_{actual} = \sqrt{4} = 2
