The mean and variance of \(20\) observations are found to be \(10\) and \(4,\) respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation \(9\) was incorrect and the correct observation was \(11\). Then the correct variance is

  1. A \(3.99\)
  2. B \(3.98\)
  3. C \(4.02\)
  4. D \(4.01\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3.99\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{20}=10 \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=200\) \(\frac{\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}}{20}-100=4 \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}=2080\) Actual mean \(=\frac{200-9+11}{20}=\frac{202}{20}\) Variance…
