If the variate of a distribution takes the values 12,22,32,...n2{1}^{2}, {2}^{2}, {3}^{2},... n^{2} with frequencies n,n−1,n−2,...3,2,1n, n - 1, n - 2,... 3,2, 1& respectively, then the mean value of the distribution is

Options

  1. A\dfrac{n\left(n + 2\right)}{3}
  2. Bn(n+1)(n+2)6\dfrac{n\left(n + 1\right)\left(n + 2\right)}{6}
  3. Cn+23\dfrac{n + 2}{3}
  4. D(n+1)(n+2)6\dfrac{\left(n + 1\right)\left(n + 2\right)}{6}

Correct answer

D. (n+1)(n+2)6\dfrac{\left(n + 1\right)\left(n + 2\right)}{6}

Step-by-step solution

{xi:12223242...(n−1)2n2fi:nn−1n−2n−3...21\begin{cases}{x}_{i} & : & {1}^{2} & {2}^{2} & {3}^{2} & {4}^{2} & . . . & \left(n - 1\right)2 & n^{2} \\ {f}_{i} & : & n & n - 1 & n - 2 & n - 3 & . . . & 2 & 1\end{cases}
∴∑i=1nxifi=12⋅n+22(n−1)+32(n−2)+...+(n−1)2x+n2⋅1∴ \mathop{∑}_{i = 1}^{n}{x}_{i}{f}_{i} = {1}^{2} ⋅ n + {2}^{2}\left(n - 1\right) + {3}^{2}\left(n - 2\right) + . . .+ \left(n - 1\right)2x + n^{2} ⋅ 1
=∑r=1n(n+1)r2−r3= \mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{n}\left(n + 1\right)r^{2} - r^{3}
=(n+1)∑r=1nr2−∑r=1nr3= \left(n + 1\right)\mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{n}r^{2} - \mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{n}r^{3}

=n(n+1)2(2n+1)6−n2(n+1)24= \dfrac{n\left(n + 1\right)2\left(2n + 1\right)}{6} - \dfrac{n^{2}\left(n + 1\right)2}{4}
n(n+1)212{2(2n+1)−3n}=n(n+1)2(n+2)12\dfrac{n{\left(n + 1\right)}^{2}}{12}\left\{2\left(2n + 1\right) - 3n\right\} = \dfrac{n{\left(n + 1\right)}^{2}\left(n + 2\right)}{12}
Also, Σfi=1+2+....+n=n(n+1)2Σ{f}_{i} = 1 + 2 + . . . . + n = \dfrac{n\left(n + 1\right)}{2}
Mean =ΣfixiΣfi=n(n+1)2(n+2)12×2n(n+1)= \dfrac{Σ{f}_{i}{x}_{i}}{Σ{f}_{i}} = \dfrac{n\left(n + 1\right)2\left(n + 2\right)}{12} \times \dfrac{2}{n\left(n + 1\right)}

=(n+1)(n+2)6= \dfrac{\left(n + 1\right)\left(n + 2\right)}{6}
