Let the mean of 5050 observations is 1515 and the standard deviation is 22. However, one observation was wrongly recorded. The sum of the correct and incorrect observations is 7070. If the mean of the correct set of observations is 1616, then the variance of the correct set is equal to

Options

  1. A1010
  2. B3636
  3. C4343
  4. D6060

Correct answer

C. 4343

Step-by-step solution

By using the formula of mean we get, =∑xi50=15⇒∑xi=750= \dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}}{50} = 15 ⇒ ∑ {x}_{i} = 750

Now variance=∑xi250−152=22⇒∑xi2=11450= \dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}^{2}}{50} - {15}^{2} = {2}^{2} ⇒ ∑ {x}_{i}^{2} = 11450

⇒∑xi(new)=50×16=800⇒ \mathop{∑ {x}_{i}}_{\left(new\right)} = 50 \times 16 = 800

So, ∑xi(new)−∑xi=800−750=50\mathop{∑ {x}_{i}}_{\left(new\right)} - ∑ {x}_{i} = 800 - 750 = 50

Hence, if wrong observation was xx then corrected one is x+50x + 50.
⇒x+(x+50)=70⇒x=10⇒ x + \left(x + 50\right) = 70 ⇒ x = 10

Therefore, the correct observation =60= 60.

Now, ∑xi2(new)=11450−(10)2+(60)2=14950\mathop{∑ {{x}_{i}}^{2}}_{\left(new\right)} = 11450 - {\left(10\right)}^{2} + {\left(60\right)}^{2} = 14950

Therefore, variance of the correct set =1495050−(16)2=299−256=43= \dfrac{14950}{50} - {\left(16\right)}^{2} = 299 - 256 = 43.
