Let x 1 , x 2 , … x n be n observations such that ∑ x i 2 = 500 and ∑ x i = 100 . Then, an impossible value of n among the following is
Options
- A24
- B18
- C29
- D22
Correct answer
B. 18
Step-by-step solution
Variance = ∑ x i 2 n - ∑ x i n 2 ≥ 0 ⇒ ∑ x i 2 n ≥ ∑ x i 2 n 2 ⇒ n ≥ ∑ x i 2 ∑ x i 2 ⇒ n ≥ 10000 500 ⇒ n ≥ 20
