The mean and variance of \(8\) observations are \(10\) and \(13.5,\) respectively. If \(6\) of these observations are \(5,7,10,12,14,15,\) then the absolute difference of the remaining two observations is 

  1. A \(7\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\bar{x}=10\) \(\Rightarrow \bar{x}=\frac{63+a+b}{8}=10 \Rightarrow a+b=17\) since, variance is independent of origin. So, we subtract 10 from each observation. \(So , \sigma^{2}=13.5=\frac{79+( a -10)^{2}+( b -10)^{2}}{8}-(10-10)^{2}\)…
