Question 1.
The mean and variance of eight observations are 9 and 9.25, respectively. If six of the observations are 6, 7, 10, 12, 12, and 13, find the remaining two observations.
Solution:
Let the remaining two observations be x and y.
Therefore, the observations are 6, 7, 10, 12, 12, 13, x, y
Mean, \(\bar{x}=\frac{6+7+10+12+12+13+x+y}{8}\) = 9
⇒ 60 + x + y = 72
⇒ x + y = 12 ………(1)
Variance = 9.25 = \(\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^8\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2\)
⇒ 9.25 = \(\frac {1}{8}\) [(-3)2 + (-2)2 + (1)2 + (3)2 + (3)2 + (4)2 + x2 + y2 – 2 × 9(x + y) + 2 × (9)2]
⇒ 9.25 = \(\frac {1}{8}\) [9 + 4 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 16 + x2 + y2 – 18(12) + 2 × 81] …. [Using (1)]
⇒ 9.25 = \(\frac {1}{8}\) [48 + x2 + y2 – 216 + 162]
⇒ 9.25 = \(\frac {1}{8}\) [x2 + y2 – 6]
⇒ x2 + y2 = 80 ……..(2)
From (1), we obtain x2 + y2 + 2xy = 144 ……..(3)
From (2) and (3), we obtain 2xy = 64 ………(4)
Subtracting (4) from (2), we obtain
x2 + y2 – 2xy = 80 – 64 = 16
⇒ x – y = ±4 ……..(5)
Therefore, from (1) and (5), we obtain
x = 8 and y = 4, when x – y = 4
x = 4 and y = 8, when x – y = -4
Thus, the remaining observations are 4 and 8.

Question 2.
The mean and variance of 7 observations are 8 and 16, respectively. If five of the observations are 2, 4, 10, 12, 14. Find the remaining two observations.
Solution:
Let the remaining two observations be x and y.
The observations are 2, 4, 10, 12, 14, x, y.
Mean, x = \(\bar{x}=\frac{2+4+10+12+14+x+y}{7}\) = 8
⇒ 42 + x + y = 56
⇒ x + y = 14 ……(1)
Variance = 16
⇒ \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}} \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^7\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\overline{\mathrm{x}}\right)^2\) = 16
⇒ 16 = \(\frac {1}{7}\) [(-6)2 + (-4)2 + (2)2 + (4)2 + (6)2 + x2 + y2 – 2 × 8(x + y) + 2 × (8)2]
⇒ 16 = \(\frac {1}{7}\) [36 + 16 + 4 + 16 + 36 + x2 + y2 – 16(14) + 2 × 64]
⇒ 16 = \(\frac {1}{7}\) [108 + x2 + y2 – 224 + 128] … [Using (1)]
⇒ x2 + y2 = 112 – 12 = 100
⇒ x2 + y2 = 100 ……….(2)
From (1), we obtain x2 + y2+ 2xy = 196 ……. (3)
From (2) and (3), we obtain 2xy = 196 – 100
⇒ 2xy = 96 ……(4)
Subtracting (4) from (2), we obtain x2 + y2 – 2xy = 100 – 96
⇒ (x – y)2 = 4
⇒ x – y = ±2 ….(5)
Therefore, from (1) and (5), we obtain
x = 8 and y = 6, when x – y = 2
x = 6 and y = 8, when x – y = -2
Thus, the remaining observations are 6 and 8.
Question 3.
The mean and standard deviation of six observations are 8 and 4, respectively. If each observation is multiplied by 3, find the new mean and new standard deviation of the resulting observations.
Solution:
Let the observations be x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, and x6.
It is given that the mean is 8 and the standard deviation is 4.
Mean, \(\bar{x}=\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5}{6}\) = 8 …….(1)
If each observation is multiplied by 3 and the resulting observations are yi, then yi = 3xi
⇒ xi = \(\frac {1}{3}\)yi, for i = 1 to 6.
∴ New mean, \(\bar{y}=\frac{y_1+y_2+y_3+y_4+y_5+y_6}{6}\)
= \(\frac{3\left(x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5\right)}{6}\)
= 3 × 8
= 24
Standard deviation, σ = \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^6\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2}\)
⇒ (4)2 = \(\frac{1}{6} \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^6\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\overline{\mathrm{x}}\right)^2\)
⇒ \(\sum_{i=1}^6\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2\) = 96 ……..(2)
From (1) and (2), it can be observed that \(\overline{\mathrm{y}}=3 \overline{\mathrm{x}}, \overline{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{1}{3} \overline{\mathrm{y}}\)
Substituting the values of x and \(\overline{\mathrm{x}}\) in (2), we obtain
\(\sum_{i=1}^6\left(\frac{1}{3} y_i-\frac{1}{3} \bar{y}\right)^2\) = 96
⇒ \(\sum_{i=1}^6\left(y_i-\bar{y}\right)^2\) = 864
Therefore, variance of new observations = \(\frac {1}{6}\) × 864 = 144
Hence, the standard deviation of new observations is √144 = 12.

Question 4.
Given that \(\overline{\mathrm{x}}\) is the mean and σ2 is the variance of n observations x1, x2, …, xn. Prove that the mean and variance of the observations ax1, ax2, ax3, ………., axn are a\(\overline{\mathrm{x}}\) and a2σ2, respectively, (a ≠ 0).
Solution:
The given n observations are x1, x2,…, xn.
Mean = \(\overline{\mathrm{x}}\)
Variance (σ2) = \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}} \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{i}}\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\overline{\mathrm{x}}\right)^2\) …….(1)
If each observation is multiplied by a and the new observations are yi, then yi = axi
⇒ xi = \(\frac {1}{a}\)yi

Therefore, mean of the observations, ax1, ax2, …….., axn is a \(\overline{\mathrm{x}}\)
Substituting the values of xi and \(\overline{\mathrm{x}}\) in (1), we obtain

Thus, the variance of the observations, ax1, ax2,…, axn, is a2σ2.
Question 5.
The mean and standard deviation of 20 observations are found to be 10 and 2, respectively. On rechecking, it was found that observation 8 was incorrect. Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation in each of the following cases:
(i) If the wrong item is omitted.
(ii) If it is replaced by 12.
Solution:
(i) Number of observations (n) = 20
Incorrect mean = 10
Incorrect standard deviation = 2

That is, the incorrect sum of observations = 200
Correct sum of observations = 200 – 8 = 192
∴ Correct mean = \(\frac{\text { Correct şum }}{19}=\frac{192}{19}\) = 10.1

(ii) When 8 is replaced by 12, Incorrect sum observations = 200
Correct sum of observations = 200 – 8 + 12 = 204
∴ Correct mean = \(\frac{\text { Correct sum }}{20}=\frac{204}{20}\) = 10.2

Question 6.
The mean and standard deviation of a group of 100 observations were found to be 20 and 3, respectively. Later on, it was found that three observations were incorrect, which were recorded as 21, 21, and 18. Find the mean and standard deviation if the incorrect observations are omitted.
Solution:
Number of observations (n) = 100
Incorrect standard deviation (σ) = 3
Incorrect mean (\(\overline{\mathrm{x}}\)) = 20
⇒ 20 = \(\frac{1}{100} \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{100} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}\)
⇒ \(\sum_{i=1}^{100} x_i\) = 20 × 100 = 2000
∴ Incorrect sum observations = 2000
⇒ Correct sum observations = 2000 – 21 – 21 – 18
= 2000 – 60
= 1940
