The mean and standard deviation of 100 observations were calculated...

The mean and standard deviation of 100100 observations were calculated as 4040 and 5.1,5.1, respectively by a student who took by mistake 5050 instead of 4040 for one observation, then& the correct standard deviation is

Options

  1. A44
  2. B66
  3. C33
  4. D55

Correct answer

D. 55

Step-by-step solution

Standard deviation (σ)=1n∑i=1nxi2−1n2(∑i=1nxi)2\left(\sigma\right) = \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n}\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{n}{x}_i^{2} - \dfrac{1}{n^{2}}{\left(\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{n}{x}_{i}\right)}^{2}}
=1n∑i=1nxi2−(x−)2= \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n}\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{n}{x}_i^{2} - {\left(\overset{-}{x}\right)}^{2}}

~⇒5.1=1100×Incorrect∑i=1nxi2−(40)2⇒ 5.1 = \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{100} \times Incorrect\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{n}{x}_i^{2} - \left(40\right)2}
or, 26.01=1100×26.01 = \dfrac{1}{100} \times Incorrect ∑i=1nxi2−1600\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{n}{x}_i^{2} - 1600
Therefore,
Incorrect ∑i=1nxi2=100(26.01+1600)=162601\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{n}{x}_i^{2} = 100 ( 26 .01 + 1600 ) = 162601

Correct mean,~x¯=3990100=39.9\overset{¯}{x} = \dfrac{3990}{100} = 39 . 9
Now, Correct ∑i=1nxi2=\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{n}{x}_i^{2} = Incorrect ∑i=1nxi2−(50)2+(40)2\mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{n}{x}_i^{2} - {\left(50\right)}^{2} + {\left(40\right)}^{2}
=162601−2500+1600=161701= 162601 - 2500 + 1600 = 161701
Therefore correct standard deviation
=Correct∑xi2n−(Correctmean)2= \sqrt{\dfrac{Correct∑ {x}_i^{2}}{n} - {\left(Correctmean\right)}^{2}}
=161701100−(39.9)2=1617.01−1592.01=25=5= \sqrt{\dfrac{161701}{100} - {\left(39.9\right)}^{2}} = \sqrt{1617.01 - 1592.01} = \sqrt{25} = 5
