Let $n \geq 3$. A list of numbers $x_1, x, \ldots, x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. A new list of numbers $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$ is made as follows $y_1=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, y_2=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$ and $y_j=x_j$ for $j=3,4, \ldots, n$.

The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$. Then, which of the following is necessarily true?

  • A
    $\mu=\hat{\mu}$ and $\sigma \leq \hat{\sigma}$
  • $\mu=\hat{\mu}$ and $\sigma \geq \hat{\sigma}$
  • C
    $\sigma=\hat{\sigma}$
  • D
    $\mu \neq \hat{\mu}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\mu=\hat{\mu}$ and $\sigma \geq \hat{\sigma}$
b
(b)

Given,

$\mu=\frac{\sum x_i}{n}$

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum x_1^2}{n}-(\mu)^2}$

$\hat{\mu}=\frac{\Sigma y_i}{n}$

$=\frac{\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}+\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}+x_3+x_4+\ldots+x_n}{n}$

$\hat{\mu}=\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3 \ldots+x_n}{n}=\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}=\mu$

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum y_1^2}{n}-\left(\mu^{\prime}\right)^2}=\sqrt{\frac{\sum y_1^2}{n}-\mu^2}$

$\sum x_1^2=x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2+\ldots+x_n^2$

$\sum y_1^2=$

$\frac{\left(x_1+x_2\right)^2}{4}+\frac{\left(x_1+x_2\right)^2}{4}+x_3^2+x_4^2+\ldots+x_n^2$

$\Sigma x_1^y-\Sigma y_1^2=x_1^2+x_2^2-2 x_1 x_2=\left(x_1-x_2\right)^2 \geq 0$

$\sum x_1^2 \geq \Sigma y_1^2$

Let $n \geq 3$. A list of numbers $0 < x_1 < x_2 < \ldots < x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. A new list of numbers is made as follows: $y_1=0, y_2=x_2, \ldots, x_{n-1}$ $=x_n-1, y_n=x_1+x_n$. The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$. Which of the following is necessarily true?
  • $\mu=\hat{\mu}, \sigma \leq \hat{\sigma}$
  • B
    $\mu=\hat{\mu}, \sigma \geq \hat{\sigma}$
  • C
    $\sigma=\hat{\sigma}$
  • D
    $\mu$ may or may not be equal to $\hat{\mu}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\mu=\hat{\mu}, \sigma \leq \hat{\sigma}$
a
(a)

We have,

$\operatorname{Mean}(\mu)=\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+\ldots+x_n}{n}$

$\mu=\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}$

Standard deviation $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{n}-(\mu)^2}$

Mean of other observations

$\operatorname{Mean}\left(\mu^{\prime}\right)=\frac{y_1+y_2+y_3+\ldots+y_{n-1}+y_n}{n}$

$=\frac{0+x_2+x_3+\ldots+x_{n-1}+x_1+x_n}{n}$

$=\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}=\mu$

$\mu^{\prime} =\mu$

$\mu^{\prime} =\sqrt{\frac{\sum y_i^2}{n}-\left(\mu^{\prime}\right)^2}$

$\sigma^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{0+x_2^2+x_3^2+\ldots+x_{n-1}^2}{+\left(x_1+x_n\right)^2}-\mu}$

$\quad \Sigma x_1^2=x_1^2+x_2^2+\ldots+x_n^2$
$\quad \Sigma y_1^2=0+x_2^2+\ldots+x_{n-1}^2+x_1^2+x_n^2+2 x_1 x_n$
$\text { Clearly, } \Sigma y_1^2 \geq \Sigma x_1^2$
$\therefore \quad \sigma^{\prime} \geq \sigma$
Hence, option (a) is correct.

MCQ 531 Mark
In a city, the total income of all people with salary below $₹ 10000$ per annum is less than the total income of all people with salary above $₹ 10000$ per annum. If the salaries of people in the first group increases by $5 \%$ and the salaries of people in the second group decreases by $5 \%$, then the average income of all people
  • A
    increases
  • decreases
  • C
    remains the same
  • D
    cannot be determined from the data
Answer
Correct option: B.
decreases
b
(b)

Let total number of people whose salary less than $10000\,Rupees$ per annum $=x$ and annual salary of each person $=a$

$\therefore$ Total salary $=a x$

and total number of people whose salary more than $10000\,Rupees$ per annum $=y$ and annual salary of each person $=b$

$\therefore$ Total salary $=b x$

When $5 \%$ increase of salary of people $x$ i.e. $\quad x(a+5 \%$ of $a)=\frac{105 a x}{100}$

and $5 \%$ decrease of salary of people $y$ i.e. $y(b-5 \%$ of $b)=\frac{95 b y}{100}$

$\frac{\text { Average salary after }}{\text { Average salary before }} =\frac{105 a x+95 b y}{a x+b y}$

$=1+\frac{5}{100}\left(\frac{a x-b y}{a x+b y}\right)$

$a x-b y < 0$

$\therefore$ Average salary af ter be decreases.

$\sum f_i = 22$

  $\sum f_ix_i^2 = 2048$

$ \therefore \quad \sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=176$

$ \text { So } \overline{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}}=\frac{176}{22}=8 $

$ \text { for } \sigma^2=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~N}} \sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2-(\overline{\mathrm{x}})^2 $

MCQ 581 Mark
The mean and standard deviation of $20$ observations are found to be $10$ and $2$, respectively. On respectively, it was found that an observation by mistake was taken $8$ instead of $12$ . The correct standard deviation is
  • A
    $\sqrt{3.86}$
  • B
    $ 1.8$
  • $\sqrt{3.96}$
  • D
    $1.94$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\sqrt{3.96}$
c
Mean $(\bar{x})=10$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{20}=10 $

$ \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=10 \times 20=200$

If $8$ is replaced by $12$ , then $\Sigma x_1=200-8+12=204$

$\therefore$ Correct mean $(\overline{\mathrm{x}})=\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{20}$

$=\frac{204}{20}=10.2$

$ \because$ Standard deviation $=2$

$ \therefore$ Variance $=( S.D.)^2=2^2=4 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{20}-\left(\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{20}\right)^2=4 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{20}-(10)^2=4 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{20}=104 $

$ \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2080$

Now, replaced $'8'$ observations by $'12'$

$\text { Then, } \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2080-8^2+12^2=2160$

$\therefore$ Variance of removing observations

$ \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{20}-\left(\frac{\Sigma x_i}{20}\right)^2 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{2160}{20}-(10.2)^2 $

$ \Rightarrow 108-104.04 $

$ \Rightarrow 3.96$

Correct standard deviation

$=\sqrt{3.96}$

Let the incorrect mean be $\mu^{\prime}$ and standard deviation be $\sigma^{\prime}$

We have

$\mu^{\prime}=\frac{\Sigma x_i}{15}=12 \Rightarrow \Sigma x_i=180$

As per given information correct $\Sigma x_i=180-10+12$

$\Rightarrow \mu(\text { correct mean })=\frac{182}{15}$

Also

$ \sigma^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{15}-144}=3 \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2295 $

$\text { Correct } \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2295-100+144=2339 $

$ \sigma^2(\text { correct variance })=\frac{2339}{15}-\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}$

Required value

$ =15\left(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2\right) $

$ =15\left(\frac{182}{15}+\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}+\frac{2339}{15}-\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}\right) $

$ =15\left(\frac{182}{15}+\frac{2339}{15}\right) $

If the mean and variance of five observations are $\frac{24}{5}$ and $\frac{194}{25}$ respectively and the mean of first four observations is $\frac{7}{2}$, then the variance of the first four observations in equal to
  • A
     $\frac{4}{5}$
  • B
     $\frac{77}{12}$
  •  $\frac{5}{4}$
  • D
     $\frac{105}{4}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
 $\frac{5}{4}$
c
$\bar{X}=\frac{24}{5} ; \sigma^2=\frac{194}{25}$

Let first four observation be $\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{x}_2, \mathrm{x}_3, \mathrm{x}_4$

Here, $\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5}{5}=\frac{24}{5}$.

Also, $\frac{\mathrm{x}_1+\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\mathrm{x}_4}{4}=\frac{7}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}_1+\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\mathrm{x}_4=14$

Now from eqn $-1$

$\mathrm{x}_5$=$10$

Now, $\sigma^2=\frac{194}{25}$

$ \frac{\mathrm{x}_1^2+\mathrm{x}_2^2+\mathrm{x}_3^2+\mathrm{x}_4^2+\mathrm{x}_5^2}{5}-\frac{576}{25}=\frac{194}{25} $

$ \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}_1^2+\mathrm{x}_2^2+\mathrm{x}_3^2+\mathrm{x}_4^2=54$

Now, variance of first $4$ observations

Var $=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^4 x_i^2}{4}-\left(\frac{\sum_{i=1}^4 x_i}{4}\right)^2$

$ =\frac{54}{4}-\frac{49}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$

Let the mean and the variance of 6 observation $a, b$, $68,44,48,60$ be $55$ and $194 $, respectively if $a>b$, then $a+3 b$ is
  • A
    $200$
  • B
    $190$
  • $180$
  • D
    $210$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$180$
c
$\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, 68,44,48,60$

Mean $=55$       $a>b$

Variance $=194$    $a+3 b$

$\frac{a+b+68+44+48+60}{6}=55$

$\Rightarrow 220+a+b=330$

$\therefore a+b=110 \ldots . .(1)$

Also,

$\sum \frac{\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\overline{\mathrm{x}}\right)^2}{\mathrm{n}}=194 $

$\Rightarrow(\mathrm{a}-55)^2+(\mathrm{b}-55)^2+(68-55)^2+(44-55)^2$

$+(48-55)^2+(60-55)^2=194 \times 6$

$\Rightarrow(\mathrm{a}-55)^2+(\mathrm{b}-55)^2+169+121+49+25=1164$

$\Rightarrow(\mathrm{a}-55)^2+(\mathrm{b}-55)^2=1164-364=800$

$\mathrm{a}^2+3025-110 \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}^2+3025-110 \mathrm{~b}=800$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2=800-6050+12100$

${a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2=6850 \ldots \ldots .(2)$

Solve $(1) \& (2);$

$a=75, b=35$

$\therefore$ $a+3 b=75+3(35)=75+105=180$

Consider $10$ observation $\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{x}_2, \ldots, \mathrm{x}_{10}$. such that $\sum_{i=1}^{10}\left(x_i-\alpha\right)=2$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{10}\left(x_i-\beta\right)^2=40$, where $\alpha, \beta$ are positive integers. Let the mean and the variance of the observations be $\frac{6}{5}$ and $\frac{84}{25}$ respectively. The $\frac{\beta}{\alpha}$ is equal to :
  • $2$
  • B
     $\frac{3}{2}$
  • C
     $\frac{5}{2}$
  • D
    $1$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$2$
a
$ \mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{x}_2 \ldots \ldots . \mathrm{x}_{10} $

$ \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{10}\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\alpha\right)=2 \Rightarrow \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{10} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-10 \alpha=2 $

$ \text { Mean } \mu=\frac{6}{5}=\frac{\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{10} $

$ \therefore \quad \sum_{\mathrm{i}}=12 $

$ \quad 10 \alpha+2=12 \quad \therefore \alpha=1 $

$ \text { Now } \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{10}\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\beta\right)^2=40 \text { Let } \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\beta $

$ \therefore \sigma_{\mathrm{y}}^2=\frac{1}{10} \sum \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{i}}^2-(\overline{\mathrm{y}})^2 $

$ \sigma_{\mathrm{x}}^2=\frac{1}{10} \sum\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\beta\right)^2-\left(\frac{\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{10}\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\beta\right)}{10}\right)^2 $

$ \frac{84}{25}=4-\left(\frac{12-10 \beta}{10}\right)^2 $

$ \therefore\left(\frac{6-5 \beta}{5}\right)^2=4-\frac{84}{25}=\frac{16}{25} $

$ 6-5 \beta= \pm 4 \Rightarrow \beta=\frac{2}{5} \text { (not possible) or } \beta=2$

Hence $\frac{\beta}{\alpha}=2$

$\overline{ x }=\frac{\sum \limits_{ i =11}^{41} i }{31}=\frac{11+41}{2}=26 \quad(31 \text { elements) }$

$\overline{ y }=\frac{\sum \limits_{ j =61}^{91} j }{31}=\frac{61+91}{2}=76 \quad \text { (31 elements) }$

$\text { Combined mean, }$

$\mu =\frac{31 \times 26+31 \times 76}{31+31}$

$=\frac{26+76}{2}=51$

$\sigma^2=\frac{1}{62} \times\left(\sum_{i=1}^{31}\left(x_i-\mu\right)^2+\sum_{i=1}^{31}\left(y_i-\mu\right)^2\right)=705$

Since, $x _{ i } \in X$ are in $A.P.$ with $31$ elements and common difference $1$,same is $y _{ i } \in y$, when written 

in increasing order.

$\therefore \sum \limits_{i=1}^{31}\left(x_i-\mu\right)^2=\sum \limits_{i=1}^{31}\left(y_i-\mu\right)^2$

$=10^2+11^2+\ldots . .+40^2$

$=\frac{40 \times 41 \times 81}{6}-\frac{9 \times 10 \times 19}{6}=21855$

  • $269$
  • C
    $264$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: B.
$269$
b
Sol. $\bar{x}=50$

$\sum x_i=500$

$\sum x_{i \text { correct }}=500+20+25-45-50=450$

$\sigma^2=144$

$\frac{\sum x_i^2}{10}-(50)^2=144$

$\sum x_{i c o r r e c t}^2=\left(144+(50)^2\right) \times 10-(45)^2-(50)^2+(20)^2+(25)^2$

$22940$

Correct variance $=\frac{\sum\left(x_{\text {icorrect }}\right)^2}{10}-\left(\frac{\sum x_{\text {icorrect }}}{10}\right)^2$

$=2294-(45)^2$

The mean and standard deviation of $50$ observations are $15$ and $2$ respectively. It was found that one incorrect observation was taken such that the sum of correct and incorrect observations is $70$ . If the correct mean is $16$ , then the correct variance is equal to
  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $36$
  • $43$
  • D
    $60$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$43$
c
No. of observations: - $50$

mean $(\bar{x})=15$

Standard deviation $(\sigma)=2$

Let incorrect observation is $x_{1}$ and correct observation is $\left( x _{1}^{\prime}\right)$

Given $x_{1}+x_{1}^{\prime}=70$

$\bar{x}=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+\ldots+x_{\text {s0 }}}{50}=15(\text { given })$

$\Rightarrow x_{1}+x_{2}+\ldots . x_{50}=750$           $\ldots(i)$

Now

Mean of correct observation is $16$

$\frac{x_{1}^{\prime}+x_{2}+\ldots+x_{50}}{50}=16$

$x_{1}^{\prime}+x_{2}+x_{3}+\ldots x_{s 0}=16 \times 50$           $\ldots(ii)$

eq. $(ii)$ - eq. $(i)$

$\Rightarrow x_{1}^{\prime}-x_{1}=16 \times 50-15 \times 50$

$x_{1}^{\prime}-x_{1}=50 and  x_{1}+x_{1}^{\prime}=70$

$x_{1}^{\prime}=60$

$x_{1}=10$

$\Rightarrow 4=\frac{x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+\ldots .+x_{50}^{2}}{50}-15^{2}$           $\ldots(iii)$

$\Rightarrow \sigma^{2}=\frac{x_{1}^{\prime 2}+x_{2}^{2}+\ldots . x_{50}^{2}}{50}-16^{2}$           $\ldots(iv)$

from $(iii)$

$\Rightarrow 4=\frac{(10)^{2}}{50}+\frac{x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}+\ldots .+x_{50}^{2}}{50}-225$

$\Rightarrow 4=2-225+\frac{\left(x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}+\ldots .+x_{90}^{2}\right)}{50}$

$\Rightarrow 227=\frac{\left(x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}+\ldots x_{50}^{2}\right)}{50}$

$\text { From }( iv )$

$\sigma^{2}=\frac{(60)^{2}}{50}+\left(\frac{x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}+\ldots+x_{90}^{2}}{50}\right)-(16)^{2}$

$\sigma^{2}=\frac{60 \times 60}{50}+227-256$

$\sigma^{2}=72+227-256$

$\sigma^{2}=43$

We have

$\text { Variance }=\frac{\sum\limits_{ r =1}^{15} x _{ r }^{2}}{15}-\left(\frac{\sum\limits_{ r =1}^{15} x _{ r }}{15}\right)^{2}$

Now, as per information given in equation

$\frac{\sum x _{ r }^{2}}{15}-8^{2}=3^{2} \Rightarrow \sum x _{ T }^{2}=\log 5$

Now, the new $\sum x _{ r }^{2}=\log 5-5^{2}+20^{2}=1470$

And, new $\sum x _{ r }=(15 \times 8)-5+(20)=135$

Variance $=\frac{1470}{15}-\left(\frac{135}{15}\right)^{2}=98-81=17$
