Q.

Let μ be the mean and σ be the standard deviation of the distribution

xi 0 1 2 3 4 5
fi k+2 2k k2-1 k2-1 k2+1 k-3

 

where fi=62. If [x] denotes the greatest integer x, then [μ2+σ2] is equal to                [2023]

1 8  
2 6  
3 9  
4 7  

Ans.

(1)

We have, fi=62  

3k2+4k-2=623k2+16k-12k-64=0

k(3k+16)-4(3k+16)=0

k=4,-163 (not possible)

  k=4, σ2=fixi2fi-μ2

σ2=8×12+15×22+15×32+17×42+5262-μ2

σ2+μ2=50062[σ2+μ2]=8
