The mean of five observations is \(5\) and their variance is \(9.20\). If three of the given five observations are \(1, 3\) and \(8\), then a ratio of other two observations is

  1. A \(10 : 3\)
  2. B \(4 : 9\)
  3. C \(5 : 8\)
  4. D \(6 : 7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4 : 9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mu = \frac{{1 + 3 + 8 + x + y}}{5}\) \(25 = 12 + x + y \Rightarrow x + y = 13\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,........\left( 1 \right)\) \({\sigma ^2} = \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \mu } \right)}^2}} }}{N}\) \(9.2 = \frac{{1 + 9 + 64 + {x^2} + {y^2}}}{5} - 25\)…
