We have , n = 20,
Now,
So, wrong
(a) Let be the correct sum of observations
So,
Now, (number of observations) = 19
So, correct mean
Let be the correct sum of squares of the observations =
So, Correct
(b) Let be correct sum of observation if entry 8 is replaced by 12,
then
and is correct sum of the squares of the observations,
then
Now, correct mean,
Correct,
So, correct
If the observations x1, x2,........ xn are changed to x1 + a, x2 + a, x3 + a, xn+ a, where a is a negative or positive number, show that the variance remains unchanged.
Given that is the mean and
is the variance of n observations
Prove that the mean and variance of observations
are
respectively,
