The mean and the standard deviation $(s.d.)$ of five observations are $9$ and $0,$ respectively. If one of the observations is changed such that the mean of the new set of five observations becomes $10,$ then their $s.d.$ is?
Answerc
Here mean $ = \bar x = 9$
$ \Rightarrow \bar x = \frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n} = 9$
$ \Rightarrow \sum {{x_i}} = 9 \times 5 = 45$
Now, standard deviation $=0$
$\therefore $ all the five terms are same i.e.;$9$.
Now for changed observation
${{\bar x}_{new}} = \frac{{36 + {x_5}}}{5} = 10$
$ \Rightarrow {x_5} = 14$
$\therefore {\sigma _{new}} = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - {{\bar x}_{new}}} \right)}^2}} }}{n}} $
$ = \sqrt {\frac{{4{{\left( {9 - 10} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {14 - 10} \right)}^2}}}{5}} $
$ = 2$

The mean age of $25$ teachers in a school is $40\, years$. A teacher retires at the age of $60\, years$ and a new teacher is appointed in his place. If now the mean age of the teachers in this school is $39\, years$, then the age (in years) of the newly appointed teacher is
Answerc
$\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_{25}}}}{{25}} = \bar x = 40$
$ \Rightarrow {x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_{25}} = 1000$
Let $A$ be the age of new teacher.
$\therefore {x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_{25}} - 60 + A = 39 \times 25$
$ \Rightarrow 1000 - 60 + A = 975$
$ \Rightarrow A = 975 - 940 = 35$

The sum of $100$ observations and the sum of their squares are $400$ and $2475$, respectively. Later on, three observations, $3, 4$ and $5$, were found to be incorrect . If the incorrect observations are omitted, then the variance of the remaining observations is
Answerd
$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{100} {{x_i}} = 400$ $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{100} {x_i^2} = 2475$
Variance
${\sigma ^2} = \frac{{\sum {x_i^2} }}{N} - {\left( {\frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{N}} \right)^2}$
$ = \frac{{2475}}{{97}} - {\left( {\frac{{388}}{{97}}} \right)^2}$
$ = \frac{{2425 - 1552}}{{97}} = \frac{{873}}{{97}} = 9$

$\bar x = \frac{1}{{101}}\left[ {1 + \left( {1 + d} \right) + \left( {1 + 2d} \right).....\left( {1 + 100d} \right)} \right]$
$ = \frac{1}{{101}} \times \frac{{101}}{2}\left[ {1 + \left( {1 + 100d} \right)} \right] = 1 + 50d$
mean deviation from mean
$ = \frac{1}{{101}}[\left| {1 - \left( {1 + 50d} \right)} \right.\left| + \right|\left( {1 + d} \right) - $
$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left( {1 + 50d} \right)\left| {......} \right|\,\left. {\left[ {1 + 100d} \right] - \left( {1 + 50d} \right)} \right|]$
$ = \frac{{2\left| d \right|}}{{101}}\left( {1 + 2 + 3... + 50} \right)$
$ = \frac{{2\left| d \right|}}{{101}} \times \frac{{50 \times 51}}{2} = \frac{{2550}}{{101}}\left| d \right|$
$ = \frac{{2550}}{{101}}\left| d \right| = 225 \Rightarrow \left| d \right| = 10.1$

The mean of $5$ observations is $5$ and their variance is $124$ . If three of the observations are $1, 2$ and $6$; then the mean deviation from the mean of the data is
Answerc
$n = 5$
$\bar x = 5$
variance $=124$
${x_1} = 1,{x_2} = 2,{x_3} = 6$
$\bar x = 5$
$\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + {x_4} + {x_5}}}{5} = 5$
$ \Rightarrow {x_4} + {x_5} + 9 = 25$
$ \Rightarrow {x_4} + {x_5} = 16$
$ \Rightarrow {x_4} + {x_5} + 10 - 10 = 16$
$ \Rightarrow \left( {{x_4} - 5} \right) + \left( {{x_5} - 5} \right) = 16 - 10$
$ \Rightarrow \left( {{x_4} - 5} \right) + \left( {{x_5} - 5} \right) = 6$
Mean deviation $ = \frac{{\sum {\left| {{x_i} - \bar x} \right|} }}{N}$
$ = \left| {{x_1} - 5} \right| + \left| {{x_2} - 5} \right| + \left| {{x_3} - 5} \right| + \left| {{x_4} - 5} \right| + \left| {{x_5} - 5} \right|$
$ = \frac{{4 + 3 + 1 + 6}}{5} = \frac{{14}}{5} = 2.8$

The mean of the data set comprising of $16$ observations is $16.$ If one of the observation valued $16$ is deleted and three new observations valued $3, 4$ and $5$ are added to the data, then the mean of the resultant data, is:
Answera
Given, $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+\ldots+x_{16}}{16}=16$
$ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{16} {{x_i}} = 16 \times 16$
Sum of new observations
$ = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {{y_i}} = (16 \times 16 - 16) + (3 + 4 + 5) = 252$
Number of observations $=18$
$\therefore $ New mean $ = \frac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {{y_i}} }}{{18}} = \frac{{252}}{{18}} = 14$

${i_1} = \frac{{{2^2} + {4^2} + {6^2} + .... + {{100}^2}}}{{50}}$

In a set of $2n$ distinct observations, each of the observations below the median of all the observations is increased by $5$ and each of the remaining observations is decreased by $3$. Then the mean of the new set of observations
- ✓
increases by $1$
- B
decreases by $1$
- C
decreases by $2$
- D
increases by $2$
AnswerCorrect option: A. increases by $1$
a
There are $2n$ abservations ${{x_1},{x_2},......,{x_{2n}}}$
So, maen $ = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{2n} {\frac{{{x_i}}}{{2n}}} $
Let these observations be divided into two parts ${{x_1},{x_2},......,{x_n}}$ and ${x_{n + 1}},......{x_{2n}}$
Each in ${1^{st}}$ part $5$ is added, so total of
first part is $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i} + 5n} $.
In second part $3$ is subtracted from each
So, total os second part is $\sum\limits_{i = n + 1}^{2n} {{x_i} - 3n} $
Total of $2n$ terms are
$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i} + 5n} + \sum\limits_{i = n + 1}^{2n} {{x_i} - 3n} = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{2n} {{x_i} + 2n} $
Mean $ = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{2n} {\frac{{{x_i} + 2n}}{{2n}}} = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{2n} {\frac{{{x_i}}}{{2n}} + 1} $

Statement $I$: Variance of $d_1, d_2,.....d_n$ is $\sigma^2$.

$\left( b \right)\,\,\bar x = \frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + ... + {x_n}}}{n}$
${\sigma ^2} = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} $
Mean of ${d_1},{d_2},{d_3},......,{d_n}$
$ = \frac{{{d_1} + {d_2} + {d_3} + ...... + {d_n}}}{n}$
$ = \frac{{\left( { - {x_1} - a} \right) + \left( { - {x_2} - a} \right) + \left( { - {x_3} - a} \right) + ..... + \left( { - {x_n} - a} \right)}}{n}$
$ = - \left[ {\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + ... + {x_n}}}{n}} \right] - \frac{{na}}{n}$
$ = - \bar x - a$
Since, ${d_i} = - {x_i} - a$ and we multiply or subtract each observation by any number the mode remains the same. Hence mode of $ - {x_i} - a$ i.e. ${d_i}$ and ${x_i}$ are same.
Now variance of ${d_1},{d_2},......,{d_n}$
$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left[ {{d_i} - \left( { - \bar x - a} \right)} \right]}^2}} $
$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left[ { - {x_i} - a + \bar x - a} \right]}^2}} $
$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( { - {x_i} + \bar x} \right)}^2}} $
$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {\bar x - {x_i}} \right)}^2}} = {\sigma ^2}$

If the median and the range of four numbers $\{x, y, 2x + y, x-y \}$ , where $0 < y < x < 2y$ , are $10$ and $28$ respectively, then the mean of the numbers is
Answerd
Since $0 < y < x < 2y$
$\therefore y > \frac{x}{2} \Rightarrow x - y < \frac{x}{2}$
$\therefore x - y < y < x < 2x + y$
Hence median $ = \frac{{y + x}}{2} = 10$
$ \Rightarrow x + y = 20\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,....\left( i \right)$
And range $ = \left( {2x + y} \right) - \left( {x - y} \right) = x + 2y$
But range $=28$
$\therefore x + 2y = 28\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.....\left( {ii} \right)$
From equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$,
$x = 12,y = 8$
$\therefore $ Mean
$ = \frac{{\left( {x - y} \right) + y + x + \left( {2x + y} \right)}}{4} = \frac{{4x + y}}{4}$
$ = x + \frac{y}{4} = 12 + \frac{8}{4} = 14$

- ✓
$2$
- B
$\sqrt 2 $

Answera
Clerly mean $A=0$
Now, standard deviation $\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {{{\left( {x - A} \right)}^2}} }}{{2n}}} $
$2 = \sqrt {\frac{{{{\left( {a - 0} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {a - 0} \right)}^2} + ... + {{\left( {0 - a} \right)}^2} + ...}}{{2n}}} $
$ = \sqrt {\frac{{{a^2}.2n}}{{2n}}} = \left| a \right|$

- ✓
$8.6$
- B
$6.4$
- C

Answera
(a) Arrange the given data in ascending order,
We have $34, 38, 42, 44, 46, 48, 54, 55, 63, 70$
Here, median = $M$ = $\frac{{46 + 48}}{2} = 47$
$(\because n = 10,$ median is the mean of $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ items)
$\therefore $ Mean deviation $ = \frac{{\Sigma |{x_i} - M|}}{n}$$ = \frac{{\Sigma |{x_i} - 47|}}{{10}}$
$ = \frac{{13 + 9 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 7 + 8 + 16 + 23}}{{10}} = 8.6$.

- C
$\left( {\frac{{{a^2}}}{{{c^2}}}} \right)\,\sigma $

AnswerCorrect option: B. $\left| {\frac{a}{c}} \right|\,\sigma $
b
(b) Let $y = \frac{{ax + b}}{c}$ i.e., $y = \frac{a}{c}x + \frac{b}{c}$
i.e., $y = Ax + B$, where $A = \frac{a}{c}$,$B = \frac{b}{c}$
$\bar y = A\bar x + B$
$y - \bar y = A(x - \bar x)$ ==> ${(y - \bar y)^2} = {A^2}{(x - \bar x)^2}$
==> $\sum {(y - \bar y)^2} = {A^2}\sum {(x - \bar x)^2}$
==> $n.\sigma _y^2 = {A^2}.n\sigma _x^2$ ==> $\sigma _y^2 = {A^2}\sigma _x^2$
==> ${\sigma _y} = \,|A|{\sigma _x}$ ==> ${\sigma _y} = \,\left| {\frac{a}{c}} \right|{\sigma _x}$
