Q 11 :    

Let a,b,cN and a<b<c. Let the mean, the mean deviation about the mean, and the variance of the 5 observations 9, 25, a,b,c be 18, 4, and 1365, respectively. Then 2a+b-c is equal to _______ .                   [2024]



(33)

a,b,cN and a<b<c

Since, mean = 18 9+25+a+b+c5=18

34+a+b+c=90a+b+c=56

Mean deviation about the mean is 4

|9-18|+|25-18|+|a-18|+|b-18|+|c-18|5=4

9+7+|a-18|+|b-18|+|c-18|=20

|a-18|+|b-18|+|c-18|=4

Variance =1365

|xi-x¯|2n=1365

81+49+|a-18|2+|b-18|2+|c-18|25=1365

|a-18|2+|b-18|2+|c-18|2=136-130=6

Possible values are |a-18|2=1, |b-18|2=1 and |c-18|2=4

   a<b<c

  18-a=1, b-18=1 and c-18=2

a=17, b=19 and c=20

Hence, 2a+b-c=34+19-20=33



Q 12 :    

The mean and standard deviation of 15 observations were found to be 12 and 3 respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation was read as 10 in place of 12. If μ and σ2 denote the mean and variance of the correct observations respectively, then 15(μ+μ2+σ2) is equal to _________ .             [2024]



(2521)

We have, mean = 12, standard deviation = 3

Let x1,x2, , x15 be 15 observations

    n=15

x1+x2++x14+1015=12x1+x2++x14=170

Now, correct mean = μ

x1+x2++x14+1215=μ170+1215=μμ=18215

Standard deviation =11515i=115xi2-(i=115xi)2

3=11515×i=115xi2-(180)245=15×i=115xi2-32400

2025=15i=115xi2-32400

2025+32400=15(x12+x22++x142+100)

2295=x12+x22++x142+100

x12+x22++x142=2195

Correct Variance, σ2=1n2(15×i=115xi2-(i=1nxi)2)

=1(15)2(15×(x12+x22++x142+144)-(182)2)

=1225(15×(2339)-33124)=1225(35085-33124)

σ2=1961225

   15(μ+μ2+σ2)=15(18215+(18215)2+1961225)

=15(2730+33124+1961225)=3781515=2521
