  1. A \(5.96\)
  2. B \(6.14\)
  3. C \(6.04\)
  4. D \(6.24\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6.04\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given for the first set: \(n_1 = 4\), \(\bar{x}_1 = 1\), \(\sigma_1^2 = 13\). \(\sigma_1^2 = \dfrac{\sum x_i^2}{n_1} - (\bar{x}_1)^2\) \(13 = \dfrac{\sum x_i^2}{4} - 1^2 \Rightarrow \sum x_i^2 = 56\) Also, \(\sum x_i = n_1 \bar{x}_1 = 4 \times 1 = 4\) Given for the second set:…
