If the mean and standard deviation of5observationsx1, x2, x3, x4, x5are10and3,respectively, then the variance of6observationsx1, x2, , x5and-50is equal to

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

We have,

Mean =x1+x2+x3+x4+x55=10

x1+x2+x3+x4+x5=50   ...i 

Variance

=S.D2=Σxi25-x¯2=9 

x12+x22+x32+x42+x525-100=9

x12+x22+x32+x42+x52=545   ...ii 

Now,

x¯new=x1+x2+x3+x4+x5-506=0 

New variance

=i=16xi26-x¯new2 

=x12+x22+x32+x42+x52+25006-0

=545+25006=30456=507.5
