The mean of 66 distinct observations is 6.56 . 5 and their variance is 10.25.10 . 25 . If 44 out of 66 observations are 2,4,52, 4, 5 and 7,7, then the remaining two observations are:

Options

  1. A10,1110, 11
  2. B3,183, 18
  3. C8,138, 13
  4. D1,201, 20

Correct answer

A. 10,1110, 11

Step-by-step solution

Let the other two observations be aandba and b, then

a+b+2+4+5+76=6.5\dfrac{a + b + 2 + 4 + 5 + 7}{6} = 6 . 5

⇒a+b=21⇒ a + b = 21

⇒b=21−a⇒ b = 21 - a

Then, other two numbers are a and \left(21 - a\right)</p><p>Now,varianceis</p><p>Now, variance is10 . 25,therefore</p><p>, therefore</p><p>10 . 25 = \dfrac{\left(4 + 16 + 25 + 49 + {a}^{2} + {\left(21 - a\right)}^{2}\right)}{6} - {\left(6 . 5\right)}^{2}</p><p></p><p>⇒ 6\left(10 . 25\right) + 6{\left(6 . 5\right)}^{2} = 94 + {a}^{2} + {\left(21 - a\right)}^{2}</p><p></p><p>⇒ {a}^{2} + {\left(21 - a\right)}^{2} = 221</p><p>∴a=10and(21−a)=21−10=11</p><p>∴ a = 10 and \left(21 - a\right) = 21 - 10 = 11

So, remaining two observations are 10,1110, 11.
