Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 35

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\bar{x} = \frac{\sum x_i}{n} \Rightarrow 4 = \frac{1+3+4+a+b}{5}\) \(20 = 8 + a+b \Rightarrow a+b = 12\) \(\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum x_i^2}{n} - (\bar{x})^2 \Rightarrow 4 = \frac{1^2+3^2+4^2+a^2+b^2}{5} - 4^2\) \(4 = \frac{1+9+16+a^2+b^2}{5} - 16 \Rightarrow 20 = 26+a^2+b^2 - 80\)…
