 rightwards double arrow                 stack space sum with blank below and blank on top straight x squared space equals space fraction numerator 1600 plus 40000 over denominator 20 end fraction equals 41600 over 20 equals 2080

(a) Let stack space space sum with blank below and blank on top straight X  be the correct sum of observations
So,                              sum from blank to blank of straight X space equals space 200 minus 8 space equals space 192
Now,  n subscript italic 1 (number of observations) = 19
So, correct mean top enclose straight X space equals space fraction numerator begin display style sum from blank to blank of end style straight X over denominator n subscript italic 1 end fraction equals 192 over 19 equals 10.10
Let sum from blank to blank of straight X squared be the correct sum of squares of the observations = sum from blank to blank of straight x squared minus 64 equals 2080 minus 64 equals 2016
So,                  Correct space space space straight sigma space equals space square root of fraction numerator straight n subscript 1 begin display style sum from blank to blank of end style straight X squared minus left parenthesis begin display style sum from blank to blank of end style straight X right parenthesis squared over denominator straight n subscript 1 squared end fraction end root space equals space square root of fraction numerator 19 cross times 2016 minus left parenthesis 192 right parenthesis squared over denominator 361 end fraction end root equals square root of 1440 over 361 end root equals 1.997
