Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 20

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let first 10 numbers are \(x_1, x_2, \ldots \ldots . x_9, \alpha\) \(\Rightarrow \alpha+\sum_{ i =1}^9 x _{ i }=100 \Rightarrow \sum_{ i =1}^9 x _{ i }=100-\alpha\) Variance \(=\left(\frac{\sum x _{ i }^2}{ n }\right)-\left(\frac{\sum x _{ i }}{ n }\right)^2\)…
