From and , we obtain

Subtracting from , we obtain

Therefore, from and , we obtain


and , when
and , when

Thus, the remaining observations are and .

Question 3:
The mean and standard deviation of six observations are and , respectively. If each
observation is multiplied by , find the new mean and new standard deviation of the resulting
observations.

Solution:
Let the observations be and .
It is given that the mean is and standard deviation is .

Mean,

If each observation is multiplied by and the resulting observations are , then

i.e., , for to

Therefore, new mean,


Standard deviation,

From and , it can be observed that,

and

Substituting the values of and in , we obtain

Therefore, variance of new observations is

Hence, the standard deviation of new observations is

Question 4:
Given that is the mean and is the variation of n observations , Prove that the
mean and variance of the observations are and , respectively .

Solution:
The given n observations are
Mean
Variance=
Therefore,

If each observation is multiplied by and the new observations are , then

i.e.,
Hence,

Therefore, mean of the observations, is


Substituting the values of and in , we obtain

Thus, the variance of the observations, is

Question 5:
The mean and standard deviation of observations are found to be and , respectively. On
rechecking, it was found that an observation was incorrect. Calculate the correct mean and
standard deviation in each of the following cases:
(i) If wrong item is omitted.
(ii) If it is replaced by .

Solution:
(i) Number of observations
Incorrect mean
Incorrect standard deviation
That is, incorrect sum of observations
Correct sum of observations

Therefore, correct mean

Standard deviation,

Hence,

Correct standard deviation


(ii) When is replaced by ,
Incorrect sum of observations
Correct sum of observations

Hence, Correct mean

Standard deviation,

Therefore,

Correct standard deviation

Question 6:
The mean and standard deviation of marks obtained by 50 students of a class in three subjects,
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are given below:
Subject Mathematics Physics Chemistry
Mean
Standard deviation
Which of the three subjects shows the highest variability in marks and which shows the lowest?

Solution:
Standard deviation of mathematics
Standard deviation of Physics
Standard deviation of Chemistry

The coefficient of variation (C.V) is given by

The subject with greater C.V is more variable than others.


Therefore, the highest variability in marks is in Chemistry and the lowest variability in marks
is in Mathematics.

Question 7:
The mean and standard deviation of a group of observations were found to be and ,
respectively. Later on it was found that three observations were incorrect, which were recorded
as and . Find the mean and standard deviation if the incorrect observations are omitted.

Solution:
Number of observations

Incorrect mean
Incorrect standard deviation

Incorrect sum of observations


Correct sum of observations

Therefore, Correct mean


Standard deviation

Correct standard deviation
