Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(269\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Sol. \(\bar{x}=50\) \(\sum x_i=500\) \(\sum x_{i \text { correct }}=500+20+25-45-50=450\) \(\sigma^2=144\) \(\frac{\sum x_i^2}{10}-(50)^2=144\) \(\sum x_{i c o r r e c t}^2=\left(144+(50)^2\right) \times 10-(45)^2-(50)^2+(20)^2+(25)^2\) \(22940\) Correct variance…
