The mean and variance of the data \(4, 5,6,6,7,8, x\), \(y\) where \(x < y\) are \(6\) , and \(\frac{9}{4}\) respectively. Then \(x^{4}+y^{2}\) is equal to

  1. A \(162\)
  2. B \(320\)
  3. C \(674\)
  4. D \(420\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(320\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{4+5+6+6+7+8+x+y}{8}=6\) \(\Rightarrow x+y=48-36=12\) Variance \(=\frac{1}{8}\left(16+25+36+36+49+64+x^{2}+y^{2}\right)-36=\frac{9}{4}\) \(\Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}=80\) \(\therefore x=4 ; y=8\) \(x^{4}+y^{2}=256+64=320\)
