The mean and standard deviation of \(20\) observations were calculated as \(10\) and \(2.5\) respectively. It was found that by mistake one data value was taken as \(25\) instead of \(35 .\) If \(\alpha\) and \(\sqrt{\beta}\) are the mean and standard deviation respectively for correct data, then \((\alpha, \beta)\) is :

  1. A \((11,26)\)
  2. B \((10.5,25)\)
  3. C \((11,25)\)
  4. D \((10.5,26)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((10.5,26)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given : Mean \((\bar{x})=\frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{20}=10\) or \(\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=200\) (incorrect) or \(200-25+35=210=\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}\) (Correct) Now correct \(\bar{x}=\frac{210}{20}=10.5\) again given \(S . D=2.5(\sigma)\)…
