The mean and the variance of five observations are 44 and 5.205.20, respectively. If three of the observations are 3,43, 4 and 44; then the absolute value of the difference of the other two observations, is :

Options

  1. A33
  2. B55
  3. C77
  4. D11

Correct answer

C. 77

Step-by-step solution

Let rest two observations are xx and yy.

Given mean =4= 4

⇒3+4+4+x+y5=4⇒x+y=9...(1)⇒ \dfrac{3 + 4 + 4 + x + y}{5} = 4 ⇒ x + y = 9 . . . \left(1\right)

Given variance =5.2= 5 . 2

⇒9+16+16+x2+y25−(4)2=5.2⇒ \dfrac{9 + 16 + 16 + {x}^{2} + {y}^{2}}{5} - {\left(4\right)}^{2} = 5 . 2

⇒x2+y2=65...(2)⇒ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 65 . . . \left(2\right)

Squaring equation \left(1\right)andsubtractingequation(2)and subtracting equation \left(2\right), we get

2xy=81−65⇒2xy=16⇒xy=82xy = 81 - 65 ⇒ 2xy = 16 ⇒ xy = 8

∴(x−y)2=x2+y2−2xy=65−16=49∴ {\left(x - y\right)}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 2xy = 65 - 16 = 49

∴∣x−y∣=7∴ \left|x - y\right| = 7
