The mean of6distinct observations is6.5and their variance is10.25.If4out of6observations are2,4,5and7,then the remaining two observations are:

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Let the other two observations beaandb, then

a+b+2+4+5+76=6.5

a+b=21

b=21-a

Then, other two numbers are a and 21-a

Now, variance is 10.25, therefore

10.25=4+16+25+49+a2+21-a26-6.52

610.25+66.52=94+a2+21-a2

a2+21-a2=221

 a=10 and 21-a=21-10=11

So, remaining two observations are 10,11.
