Let the mean and variance of \(12\) observations be \(\frac{9}{2}\) and \(4\) respectively. Later on, it was observed that two observations were considered as \(9\) and \(10\) instead of \(7\) and \(14\) respectively. If the correct variance is \(\frac{m}{n}\), where \(m\) and \(n\) are co-prime, then \(m + n\) is equal to

  1. A \(316\)
  2. B \(314\)
  3. C \(317\)
  4. D \(315\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(317\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\sum x }{12}=\frac{9}{2}\) \(\sum x =54\) \(\frac{\Sigma x ^2}{12}-\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)^2=4\) \(\sum x ^2=291\) \(\sum x _{\text {new }}=54-(9+10)+7+14=56\) \(\sum x _{\text {new }}^2=291-(81+100)+49+196=355\)…
