Q.

Let X={11,12,13,,40,41} and Y={61,62,63,,90,91} be the two sets of observations. If x¯ and y¯ are their respective means and σ2 is the variance of all the observations in XY, then |x¯+y¯-σ2| is equal to _______ .             [2023]


Ans.

(603)

Mean x¯=i=1141i31=11+412=26

y¯=j=6191j31=61+912=76

Combined mean μ=31×26+31×7631+31=26+762=51

σ2=162(i=131(xi-μ)2+i=131(yi-μ)2)=705

 |x¯+y¯-σ2|=|26+76-705|=603
