If both mean and variance of 50 observations \(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{50}\) are equal to 16 and 256 respectively, then mean of \(\left(x_1-5\right)^2,\left(x_2-5\right)^2, \ldots \ldots,\left(x_{50}-5\right)^2\) is
- A 357
- B 367
- C 377
- D 387
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 377
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Mean }=\frac{\sum x_i}{n} \\ & \Rightarrow 16=\frac{\sum x_{\mathrm{i}}}{50} \\ & \Rightarrow \sum x_{\mathrm{i}}=800 \\ & \text { Variance }=\frac{\sum x_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{\mathrm{n}}-(\bar{x})^2 \\ & \Rightarrow 256=\frac{\sum x_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{50}-(16)^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\sum x_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{50}=512 \\ & \Rightarrow \sum x_{\mathrm{i}}^2=25600 \\ & \text { New mean }=\frac{\sum\left(x_{\mathrm{i}}-5\right)^2}{\mathrm{n}} \\ & =\frac{\sum x_{\mathrm{i}}^2-10 \sum x_{\mathrm{i}}+\sum 25}{50} \\ & =\frac{25600-10(800)+25(50)}{50} \\ & =\frac{18850}{50} \\ & =377 \\ & \end{aligned}\)
