Let $$r$$ be the range and $${S^2} = \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}} $$ be the S.D. of a set of observations $${x_1},\,{x_2}......,\,{x_n},$$ then :
3.
The scores of $$15$$ students in an examination were recorded as $$10,\,5,\,8,\,16,\,18,\,20,\,8,\,10,\,16,\,20,\,18,\,11,\,16,\,14$$ and $$12.$$ After calculating the mean, median and mode, an error is found. One of the values is wrongly written as $$16$$ instead of $$18.$$ Which of the following measures of central tendency will change ?
Mean of the scores $$ = \frac{{202}}{{15}}$$
Mean of the correct scores $$ = \frac{{200}}{{15}}$$
i.e., Mean changes.
Median is same for both cases i.e., $$14.$$
Mode is proportional to mean.
4.
If the standard deviation of the observations $$ - 5,\, - 4,\, - 3,\, - 2,\, - 1,\,0,\,1,\,2,\,3,\,4,\,5$$ is $$\sqrt {10} .$$ The standard deviation of observations $$15,\,16,\,17,\,18,\,19,\,20,\,21,\,22,\,23,\,24,\,25$$ will be :
The new observations are obtained by adding $$20$$ to each. Hence, $$\sigma $$ does not change.
5.
Let $${x_1},{x_2},.....,{x_n}$$ be $$n$$ observations, and let $$\overline x $$ be their arithmetic mean and $${\sigma ^2}$$ be the variance. Statement - 1 : Variance of $$2{x_1},2{x_2},.....,2{x_n}$$ is $$4{\sigma ^2}.$$ Statement - 2 : Arithmetic mean $$2{x_1},2{x_2},.....,2{x_n}$$ is $$4\overline x .$$
A.
Statement - 1 is false, Statement - 2 is true.
B.
Statement - 1 is true, statement - 2 is true; statement - 2 is a correct explanation for Statement - 1 .
C.
Statement - 1 is true, statement - 2 is true; statement - 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement - 1.
D.
Statement - 1 is true, statement - 2 is false.
Answer :
Statement - 1 is true, statement - 2 is false.
KEY CONCEPT : If each observation is multiplied by $$k,$$ mean gets multiplied by $$k$$ and variance gets multiplied by $${k^2}.$$ Hence the new mean should be $$2\overline x $$ and new variance should be $${k^2}{\sigma ^2}.$$
6.
The mean of the series $${x_1},\,{x_2},......,\,{x_n}$$ is $$\overline X $$. If $${x_2}$$ is replaced by $$\lambda $$, then what is the new mean ?
A.
$$\overline X - {x_2} + \lambda $$
B.
$$\frac{{\overline X - {x_2} - \lambda }}{n}$$
C.
$$\frac{{\overline X - {x_2} + \lambda }}{n}$$
D.
$$\frac{{n\overline X - {x_2} + \lambda }}{n}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{n\overline X - {x_2} + \lambda }}{n}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Mean of series}}\left( {{x_1},\,{x_2},\,{x_3},......,\,{x_n}} \right) \cr
& \overline x = \frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3}, +......,\,{x_n}}}{n} \cr
& \Rightarrow {x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + ...... + \,{x_n} = n\overline x \cr
& {\text{Now we will replace }}{x_2}{\text{ by }}\lambda \cr
& {\text{So number of elements in series will not change}}{\text{.}} \cr
& {\text{New series will include }}\lambda {\text{ and exclude }}{x_2} \cr
& {\text{Hence new series sum :}} \cr
& \left( {{x_1} + {x_2} + ...... \,{x_n}} \right) - {x_2} + \lambda = n\overline x + \lambda - {x_2} \cr
& {\text{Now new mean}} \cr
& = \frac{{n\overline x + \lambda - {x_2}}}{n} = \frac{{n\overline x - {x_2} + \lambda }}{n} \cr} $$

The first of two samples has $$100$$ items with mean $$15$$ and SD $$3$$. If the whole group has $$250$$ items with mean $$15.6$$ and SD $$ = \sqrt {13.44} $$ the SD of the second group is :

5 students of a class have an average height 150 $$cm$$ and variance 18 $${{c}}{{{m}}^2}.$$ A new student, whose height is 156 $$cm,\,$$ joined them. The variance (in $${{c}}{{{m}}^2}$$ ) of the height of these six students is:
