  1. A  \(\frac{4}{5}\)
  2. B  \(\frac{77}{12}\)
  3. C  \(\frac{5}{4}\)
  4. D  \(\frac{105}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C)  \(\frac{5}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\bar{X}=\frac{24}{5} ; \sigma^2=\frac{194}{25}\) Let first four observation be \(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{x}_2, \mathrm{x}_3, \mathrm{x}_4\) Here, \(\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5}{5}=\frac{24}{5}\). Also, \(\frac{\mathrm{x}_1+\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\mathrm{x}_4}{4}=\frac{7}{2}\)…
