MCQ
The mean and variance of $7$ observations are $8$ and $16$ respectively. If two observations are $6$ and $8 ,$ then the variance of the remaining $5$ observations is:
- A$\frac{92}{5}$
- B$\frac{134}{5}$
- ✓$\frac{536}{25}$
- D$\frac{112}{5}$
Now $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+\ldots+x_{5}+14}{7}=8....(i)$
$\Rightarrow \sum_{i=1}^{5} x_{i}=42$
Also $\frac{x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+\ldots x_{5}^{2}+8^{2}+6^{2}}{7}-64=16$
$\Rightarrow \sum_{i=1}^{5} x_{i}^{2}=560-100=460....(ii)$
So variance of $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{5}$
$=\frac{460}{5}-\left(\frac{42}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{2300-1764}{25}=\frac{536}{25}$
