If the mean and variance of the data $65,68,58,44,48,45,60, \alpha, \beta, 60$ where $\alpha> \beta$, are 56 and 66.2 respectively, then $\alpha^2+\beta^2$ is equal to _________.

The mean and standard deviation of 15 observations were found to be 12 and 3 respectively. On rechecking it was found that an observation was read as 10 in place of 12 . If $\mu$ and $\sigma^2$ denote the mean and variance of the correct observations respectively, then $15\left(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2\right)$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
Let the incorrect mean be $\mu^{\prime}$ and standard deviation be $\sigma^{\prime}$
We have
$\mu^{\prime}=\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{15}=12 \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=180$
As per given information correct $\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=180-10+12$
$\Rightarrow \mu(\text { correct mean})=\frac{182}{15}$
Also
$\sigma^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{15}-144}=3 \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2295$
Correct $\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}{ }^2=2295-100+144=2339$
$\sigma^2(\text { correct variance })=\frac{2339}{15}-\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15} $
Required value
$\begin{aligned} & =15\left(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2\right) \\ & =15\left(\frac{182}{15}+\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}+\frac{2339}{15}-\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}\right) \\ & =15\left(\frac{182}{15}+\frac{2339}{15}\right) \\ & =2521 \end{aligned}$

where $\sum f_{i}=62$. If $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer $\leq x$, then $\left[\mu^{2}+\sigma^{2}\right]$ is equal to :

The mean and standard deviation of the marks of 10 students were found to be 50 and 12 respectively. Later, it was observed that two marks 20 and 25 were wrongly read as 45 and 50 respectively. Then the correct variance is _________
Explanation:
- The initial mean is given by:
$\bar{x}=50$
So, the total sum of the marks initially was:
$\sum x_i = \bar{x} \times n = 50 \times 10 = 500$
- We later realize that two marks were incorrectly read as 45 and 50, when they should have been 20 and 25. Therefore, the corrected sum of the marks is:
$\sum x_{i{\text{correct}}} = \sum x_i - 45 - 50 + 20 + 25 = 500 - 45 - 50 + 20 + 25 = 450$
- The initial variance is given as:
$\sigma^2 = 144$
We know that variance is calculated as the mean of the squares minus the square of the mean. Therefore, rearranging gives:
$\frac{\sum x_i^2}{n} = \sigma^2 + \bar{x}^2 = 144 + 50^2 = 2644$
Then, the sum of the squares of the initial marks is:
$\sum x_i^2 = n \times \frac{\sum x_i^2}{n} = 10 \times 2594 = 26440$
- The corrected sum of the squares of the marks is calculated by subtracting the squares of the incorrect marks and adding the squares of the correct marks:
$\sum x_{i{\text{correct}}}^2 = \sum x_i^2 - 45^2 - 50^2 + 20^2 + 25^2 = 26400 - 45^2 - 50^2 + 20^2 + 25^2 = 22940$
- Now we can calculate the corrected variance. The variance is the mean of the squares minus the square of the mean. Using the corrected values gives:
$\sigma_{\text{correct}}^2 = \frac{\sum x_{i{\text{correct}}}^2}{n} - \left(\frac{\sum x{i_{\text{correct}}}}{n}\right)^2 = \frac{22940}{10} - \left(\frac{450}{10}\right)^2 = 2294 - 45^2 = 2294 - 2025 = 269$
Therefore, the correct variance is 269.
Let the mean of the data
| $x$ | 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency ($f$) | 4 | 24 | 28 | $\alpha$ | 8 |
be 5. If $m$ and $\sigma^{2}$ are respectively the mean deviation about the mean and the variance of the data, then $\frac{3 \alpha}{m+\sigma^{2}}$ is equal to __________
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} \sum f_i & =80 \\\\ \text { M.D } & =\frac{\sum f_i\left|x_i-5\right|}{\sum f_i} \\\\ & =\frac{4+4+24 \times 2+0+16 \times 2+8 \times 4}{80} \\\\ & =\frac{8}{5} \end{aligned} $
$ \begin{aligned} \sigma^2 & =\frac{\sum f_i\left|x_i-5\right|}{\sum f_i} \\\\ & =\frac{4+16+24 \times 4+0+16 \times 4+8 \times 16}{80}=\frac{22}{5} \end{aligned} $
So, $ \frac{3 \alpha}{m+\sigma^2}=\frac{3 \times 16}{\frac{8}{5}+\frac{22}{5}}=8 $
Let the positive numbers $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, a_{4}$ and $a_{5}$ be in a G.P. Let their mean and variance be $\frac{31}{10}$ and $\frac{m}{n}$ respectively, where $m$ and $n$ are co-prime. If the mean of their reciprocals is $\frac{31}{40}$ and $a_{3}+a_{4}+a_{5}=14$, then $m+n$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$a_2 = r a$,
$a_3 = r^2 a$,
$a_4 = r^3 a$,
$a_5 = r^4 a$.
where $r$ is the common ratio and $a_1$ = $a$ is the first term.
Given that the mean of the series is $\frac{31}{10}$, we get
$\frac{1}{5}(a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + a_4 + a_5) = \frac{31}{10}$
Substituting the terms with the values of $a_1$ and $r$ gives
$\frac{1}{5}(a + r a + r^2 a + r^3 a + r^4 a) = \frac{31}{10}$
Simplifying this gives
$a (1 + r + r^2 + r^3 + r^4) = \frac{31}{2}$
$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{a\left(r^5-1\right)}{r-1}=\frac{31}{2} ......(1) \\\\ & \frac{1}{a}\left(1+\frac{1}{r}+\frac{1}{r^2}+\frac{1}{r^3}+\frac{1}{r^4}\right)=\frac{31}{40} \cdot 5=\frac{31}{8} \\\\ & \frac{1}{a}\left(\frac{1-\left(\frac{1}{r}\right)^5}{1-\frac{1}{r}}\right)=\frac{31}{8} \\\\ & \text { or } \frac{1}{a}\left(\frac{r^5-1}{r-1}\right) \frac{1}{r^4}=\frac{31}{8} .........(2) \end{aligned} $
From (1) and (2)
$ \frac{1}{a} \cdot \frac{31}{2 a} \cdot \frac{1}{r^4}=\frac{31}{8} $
$ a r^2=2 $
From (1)
$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{2}{r^2}\left(\frac{r^5-1}{r-1}\right)=\frac{31}{2} \\\\ & \frac{1+r+r^2+r^3+r^4}{r^2}=\frac{31}{4} \\\\ & \left(r^2+\frac{1}{r^2}\right)+\left(r+\frac{1}{r}\right)=\frac{27}{4} \\\\ & t^2-2+t=\frac{27}{4} \end{aligned} $
$ \begin{aligned} &4 t^2+4 t-35=0\\\\ &4 t^2+14 t-10 t-35=0\\\\ &(2 t-5)(2 t+7)=0\\\\ &t=\frac{5}{2}, \frac{-7}{2} \Rightarrow r=2\\\\ & \therefore r=2, a=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned} $
$ \text { Variance of data set }\left\{\frac{1}{2}, 1,2,4,8\right\} $
$ \therefore \sigma^2=\frac{\sum{\mathrm{X}^2}}{\mathrm{~N}}-\left(\frac{\sum{\mathrm{X}}}{\mathrm{N}}\right)^2 $
$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{\left(\frac{341}{4}\right)}{5}-\left(\frac{31}{10}\right)^2 \\\\ & =\frac{341}{20}-\frac{961}{100}=\frac{1705-961}{100} \\\\ & =\frac{744}{100} \end{aligned} $
$ =\frac{186}{25}=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{n}} \Rightarrow 211=\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n} $
If the mean of the frequency distribution
| Class : | 0-10 | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-40 | 40-50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency : | 2 | 3 | $x$ | 5 | 4 |
is 28, then its variance is __________.
Explanation:
$ \begin{array}{ll} \text { So, } \frac{2 \times 5+3 \times 15+x \times 25+5 \times 35+4 \times 45}{14+x}=28 \\\\ \Rightarrow \frac{10+45+25 x+175+180}{14+x}=28 \\\\ \Rightarrow 310+25 x=392+28 x \\\\ \Rightarrow 3 x=18 \Rightarrow x=6 \end{array} $
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore \text { Variance }=\left(\frac{\sum x_i^2 f_i}{\sum f_i}\right)-(\text { mean })^2 \\\\ & =\left(\frac{2 \times 5^2+3 \times 15^2+6 \times 25^2+5 \times 35^2+4 \times 45^2}{20}\right)-(28)^2 \\\\ & =\left(\frac{50+675+3750+6125+8100}{20}\right)-(28)^2 \\\\ & =\left(\frac{18700}{20}\right)-(28)^2 \\\\ & =935-784=151 \end{aligned} $
Let the mean and variance of 8 numbers $x, y, 10,12,6,12,4,8$ be $9$ and $9.25$ respectively. If $x > y$, then $3 x-2 y$ is equal to _____________.
Explanation:
Now, mean $(\bar{x})=9$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{x+y+52}{8}=9 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x+y=20 \end{aligned} $
Also, variance $=9.25$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{(x-9)^2+(y-9)^2+54}{8}=9.25 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2+y^2+81+81-2 \times 9(x+y)=20 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2+y^2-18 \times 20=-142 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2+y^2=218 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2+(20-x)^2=218 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2+400+x^2-40 x=218 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 2 x^2-40 x+182=0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x=\frac{40 \pm 12}{4} \\\\ & \Rightarrow x=13 \text { or } x=7 \Rightarrow y=7 \text { or } y=13 \\\\ & \text { But } x>y \\\\ & \therefore x=13 \text { and } y=7 \\\\ & \text { So, } 3 x-2 y=39-14=25 \end{aligned} $

| $x_i$ | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $f_i$ | 4 | 4 | $\alpha$ | 15 | 8 | $\beta$ | 4 | 5 |
are 9 and 15.08 respectively, then the value of $\alpha^2+\beta^2-\alpha\beta$ is ___________.
Explanation:
$ \therefore $ $\begin{aligned} & \Sigma f_i=40 +\alpha+\beta\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Sigma f_i x_i=360+ 6 \alpha+12 \beta\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Sigma f_i x_i^2=3904 +36 \alpha+144 \beta\end{aligned}$
Given, mean $=9$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i}=9 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{360+6 \alpha+12 \beta}{40+\alpha+\beta}=9 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 360+6 \alpha+12 \beta=9(40+\alpha+\beta) \\\\ & \Rightarrow 3 \beta=3 \alpha \\\\ & \Rightarrow \alpha=\beta .........(i) \end{aligned} $
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Variance }=15.08 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma f_i x_i^2}{\Sigma f_i}-\left(\frac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i}\right)^2=15.08 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{3904+36 \alpha+144 \beta}{40+\alpha+\beta}-(9)^2=15.08 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{3904+180 \alpha}{40+2 \alpha}=81+15.08 \quad[\because \alpha=\beta] \\\\ & \Rightarrow 3904+180 \alpha=96.08(40+2 \alpha) \\\\ & \Rightarrow 3904+180 \alpha=3843.2+192.16 \alpha \\\\ & \Rightarrow 60.8=12.16 \alpha \\\\ & \Rightarrow \alpha=5=\beta \\\\ & \therefore \alpha^2+\beta^2-\alpha \beta=25+25-25=25\end{aligned}$
If the variance of the frequency distribution
| $x_i$ | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency $f_i$ | 3 | 6 | 16 | $\alpha$ | 9 | 5 | 6 |
is 3, then $\alpha$ is equal to _____________.
Explanation:
$\sigma_{\mathrm{x}}^{2}=\sigma_{\mathrm{d}}^{2}=\frac{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}}{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}}-\left(\frac{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}}\right)^{2}$
$=\frac{150}{45+\alpha}-0=3$
$\Rightarrow 150=135+3 \alpha$
$\Rightarrow 3 \alpha=15 \Rightarrow \alpha=5$
