The mean and the standard deviationS.D.of five observations are9and0, respectively. If one of the observation is increased such that the mean of the new set of five observations becomes10, then theirS.D.is

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

x¯=xin=9

s.d=xi-x¯2n=0

xi=x¯i

each term in the original observation is 9

observation 1={9,9,9,9,9}

x¯new =xin=9+9+9+9+x55

10=36+x55

x5=14

new set of observations ={9,9,9,9,14}

s.dnew =xi-x¯new2n

=(9-10)2+(9-10)2+(9-10)2+(14-10)25

=4+425

=205=2
