The mean and standard deviation of20observations were calculated as10and2.5respectively. It was found that by mistake one data value was taken as25instead of35.Ifαandβare the mean and standard deviation respectively for correct data, then(α,β)is:

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Mean =x1+x2+x3++x19+2520=10x1+x2+x3++x19+25=200

x1+x2+x3++x19=175

New mean =x1+x2+x3++x19+3520=175+3520=10.5

S.D. =x12+x22+x32++x192+(25)220-(10)2

2.5=x12+x22+x32++x192+(25)220-(10)2

x12+x22+x32++x192=1500

New  S.D=x12+x22+x32++x192+(35)220-(10.5)2

=1500+(35)220-(110.25)

=26

(α,β)=(10.5,26)
