The mean and the standard deviation $(s.d.)$  of five observations are $9$ and $0,$ respectively. If one of the observations is changed such that the mean of the new set of five observations becomes $10,$  then their $s.d.$  is?
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $4$
  • $2$
  • D
    $1$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2$
c
Here mean $ = \bar x = 9$

$ \Rightarrow \bar x = \frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n} = 9$

$ \Rightarrow \sum {{x_i}}  = 9 \times 5 = 45$

Now, standard deviation $=0$

$\therefore $ all the five terms are same i.e.;$9$.

Now for changed observation 

${{\bar x}_{new}} = \frac{{36 + {x_5}}}{5} = 10$

$ \Rightarrow {x_5} = 14$

$\therefore {\sigma _{new}} = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - {{\bar x}_{new}}} \right)}^2}} }}{n}} $

$ = \sqrt {\frac{{4{{\left( {9 - 10} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {14 - 10} \right)}^2}}}{5}} $

$ = 2$

MCQ 1521 Mark
The mean age of $25$ teachers in a school is $40\, years$. A teacher retires at the age of $60\, years$ and a new teacher is appointed in his place. If now the mean age of the teachers in this school is $39\, years$, then the age (in years) of the newly appointed teacher is
  • A
    $25$
  • B
    $30$
  • $35$
  • D
    $40$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$35$
c
$\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_{25}}}}{{25}} = \bar x = 40$

$ \Rightarrow {x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_{25}} = 1000$ 

Let $A$ be the age of new teacher.

$\therefore {x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_{25}} - 60 + A = 39 \times 25$

$ \Rightarrow 1000 - 60 + A = 975$

$ \Rightarrow A = 975 - 940 = 35$

$\bar x = \frac{1}{{101}}\left[ {1 + \left( {1 + d} \right) + \left( {1 + 2d} \right).....\left( {1 + 100d} \right)} \right]$

$ = \frac{1}{{101}} \times \frac{{101}}{2}\left[ {1 + \left( {1 + 100d} \right)} \right] = 1 + 50d$

mean deviation from mean

$ = \frac{1}{{101}}[\left| {1 - \left( {1 + 50d} \right)} \right.\left|  +  \right|\left( {1 + d} \right) - $

$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left( {1 + 50d} \right)\left| {......} \right|\,\left. {\left[ {1 + 100d} \right] - \left( {1 + 50d} \right)} \right|]$

$ = \frac{{2\left| d \right|}}{{101}}\left( {1 + 2 + 3... + 50} \right)$

$ = \frac{{2\left| d \right|}}{{101}} \times \frac{{50 \times 51}}{2} = \frac{{2550}}{{101}}\left| d \right|$

$ = \frac{{2550}}{{101}}\left| d \right| = 225 \Rightarrow \left| d \right| = 10.1$

The mean of $5$ observations is $5$ and their variance is $124$ . If three of the observations are $1, 2$ and $6$; then the mean deviation from the mean of the data is
  • A
    $2.5$
  • B
    $2.6$
  • $2.8$
  • D
    $2.4$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2.8$
c
$n = 5$

$\bar x = 5$

variance $=124$

${x_1} = 1,{x_2} = 2,{x_3} = 6$

$\bar x = 5$

$\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + {x_4} + {x_5}}}{5} = 5$

$ \Rightarrow {x_4} + {x_5} + 9 = 25$

$ \Rightarrow {x_4} + {x_5} = 16$

$ \Rightarrow {x_4} + {x_5} + 10 - 10 = 16$

$ \Rightarrow \left( {{x_4} - 5} \right) + \left( {{x_5} - 5} \right) = 16 - 10$

$ \Rightarrow \left( {{x_4} - 5} \right) + \left( {{x_5} - 5} \right) = 6$

Mean deviation $ = \frac{{\sum {\left| {{x_i} - \bar x} \right|} }}{N}$

$ = \left| {{x_1} - 5} \right| + \left| {{x_2} - 5} \right| + \left| {{x_3} - 5} \right| + \left| {{x_4} - 5} \right| + \left| {{x_5} - 5} \right|$

$ = \frac{{4 + 3 + 1 + 6}}{5} = \frac{{14}}{5} = 2.8$

Answer
Correct option: A.
increases by $1$
a
There are $2n$ abservations ${{x_1},{x_2},......,{x_{2n}}}$

So, maen $ = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{2n} {\frac{{{x_i}}}{{2n}}} $

Let these observations be divided into two parts ${{x_1},{x_2},......,{x_n}}$ and ${x_{n + 1}},......{x_{2n}}$ 

Each in ${1^{st}}$ part $5$ is added, so total of 

first part is $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i} + 5n} $.

In second part $3$ is subtracted from each 

So, total os second part is $\sum\limits_{i = n + 1}^{2n} {{x_i} - 3n} $

Total of $2n$ terms are

$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i} + 5n}  + \sum\limits_{i = n + 1}^{2n} {{x_i} - 3n}  = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{2n} {{x_i} + 2n} $

 Mean $ = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{2n} {\frac{{{x_i} + 2n}}{{2n}}}  = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{2n} {\frac{{{x_i}}}{{2n}} + 1} $

$\left( b \right)\,\,\bar x = \frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + ... + {x_n}}}{n}$

${\sigma ^2} = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} $

Mean of ${d_1},{d_2},{d_3},......,{d_n}$

$ = \frac{{{d_1} + {d_2} + {d_3} + ...... + {d_n}}}{n}$

$ = \frac{{\left( { - {x_1} - a} \right) + \left( { - {x_2} - a} \right) + \left( { - {x_3} - a} \right) + ..... + \left( { - {x_n} - a} \right)}}{n}$

$ =  - \left[ {\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + ... + {x_n}}}{n}} \right] - \frac{{na}}{n}$

$ =  - \bar x - a$

Since, ${d_i} =  - {x_i} - a$ and we multiply or subtract each observation by any number the mode remains the same. Hence mode of $ - {x_i} - a$ i.e. ${d_i}$ and ${x_i}$ are same.

Now variance of ${d_1},{d_2},......,{d_n}$

$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left[ {{d_i} - \left( { - \bar x - a} \right)} \right]}^2}} $

$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left[ { - {x_i} - a + \bar x - a} \right]}^2}} $

$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( { - {x_i} + \bar x} \right)}^2}} $

$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {\bar x - {x_i}} \right)}^2}}  = {\sigma ^2}$

If the median and the range of four numbers $\{x, y, 2x + y, x-y \}$ , where $0 < y < x < 2y$ , are $10$ and $28$ respectively, then the mean of the numbers is
  • A
    $18$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $5$
  • $14$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$14$
d
Since $0 < y < x < 2y$

$\therefore y > \frac{x}{2} \Rightarrow x - y < \frac{x}{2}$

$\therefore x - y < y < x < 2x + y$

Hence median $ = \frac{{y + x}}{2} = 10$

$ \Rightarrow x + y = 20\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,....\left( i \right)$

And range $ = \left( {2x + y} \right) - \left( {x - y} \right) = x + 2y$

But range $=28$

$\therefore x + 2y = 28\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.....\left( {ii} \right)$

From equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$,

$x = 12,y = 8$

$\therefore $ Mean

$ = \frac{{\left( {x - y} \right) + y + x + \left( {2x + y} \right)}}{4} = \frac{{4x + y}}{4}$

         $ = x + \frac{y}{4} = 12 + \frac{8}{4} = 14$

$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}} + \frac{1}{n}(1 + 2 + 3 + ..... + n)$

$ = \bar x + \frac{1}{n}.\frac{{n(n + 1)}}{2}$

$ = \bar x + \frac{{n + 1}}{2}$.

The mean of the values $0, 1, 2,......,n$ having corresponding weight $^n{C_0},{\,^n}{C_1},{\,^n}{C_2},........\,,{\,^n}{C_n}$ respectively is
  • A
    $\frac{{{2^n}}}{{n + 1}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{{2^{n + 1}}}}{{n(n + 1)}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{n + 1}}{2}$
  • $\frac{n}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{n}{2}$
d
(d) The required mean is

$\bar x = \frac{{0.1 + {{1.}^n}{C_1} + {{2.}^n}{C_2} + {{3.}^n}{C_3} + ...... + n{.^n}{C_n}}}{{1{ + ^n}{C_1}{ + ^n}{C_2} + ....{ + ^n}{C_n}}}$

$ = \frac{{\sum\limits_{r = 0}^n {r.\,{\,^{n}}{C_r}} }}{{\sum\limits_{r = 0}^n {^n{C_r}} }} = \frac{{\sum\limits_{r = 1}^n {r.\frac{n}{r}\,{\,^{n - 1}}{C_{r - 1}}} }}{{\sum\limits_{r = 0}^n {^n{C_r}} }}$= $\frac{{n\sum\limits_{r = 1}^n {^{n - 1}{C_{r - 1}}} }}{{\sum\limits_{r = 0}^n {^n{C_r}} }}$

$ = \frac{{n{{.2}^{n - 1}}}}{{{2^n}}}$ $ = \frac{n}{2}$.

    $10.48$
  • C
    $12.64$
  • D
    $14.56$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$11.28$
a
The following table is formed.

height in cms Number of boys ${f_i}$ Mid-point ${x_i}$ ${f_i}{x_i}$ $\left| {{x_i} - \bar x} \right|$ ${f_i}\left| {{x_i} - \bar x} \right|$
$95-105$ $9$ $100$ $900$ $25.3$ $227.7$
$105-115$ $13$ $110$ $1430$ $15.3$ $198.9$
$115-125$ $26$ $120$ $3120$ $5.3$ $137.8$
$125-135$ $30$ $130$ $3900$ $4.7$ $141$
$135-145$ $12$ $140$ $1680$ $14.7$ $176.4$
$145-155$ $10$ $150$ $1500$ $24.7$ $247$

Here, $N = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{f_i}}  = 100,\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{f_i}{x_i}}  = 12530$

$\therefore \bar x = \frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{f_i}{x_i}}  = \frac{1}{{100}} \times 12530 = 125.3$

$M.D.\left( {\bar x} \right) = \frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - \bar x} \right|}  = \frac{1}{{100}} \times 1128.8 = 11.28$
