The variance of the numbers $8,21,34,47, \ldots, 320$ is _______.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} & \operatorname{Var}(8,21,34,47, \ldots \ldots, 320) \\ & \operatorname{Var}(0,13,26,39, \ldots \ldots, 312) \\ & 13^2 \cdot \operatorname{Var}(0,1,2, \ldots \ldots, 24) \\ & 13^2 \cdot \operatorname{Var}(1,2,3, \ldots \ldots, 25) \end{aligned}\\ &\text { So, } \sigma^2=13^2 \times\left(\frac{25^2-1}{12}\right)=8788\\ &\text { Alternate solution }\\ &\begin{aligned} & 8+(n-1) 13=320 \\ & 13 n=325 \\ & n=25 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { no. of terms }=25\\ &\begin{aligned} & \text { mean }=\frac{\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{8+21+\ldots+320}{25}=\frac{\frac{25}{2}(8+320)}{25} \\ & \text { variance } \sigma^2=\frac{\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{\mathrm{n}}-(\text { mean })^2 \\ & =\frac{8^2+21^2+\ldots .+320^2}{13}-(164)^2 \\ & =8788 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
Let $\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c} \in \mathbf{N}$ and $\mathrm{a}< \mathrm{b}< \mathrm{c}$. Let the mean, the mean deviation about the mean and the variance of the 5 observations $9,25, a, b, c$ be 18, 4 and $\frac{136}{5}$, respectively. Then $2 a+b-c$ is equal to ________
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & a, b, c \in N \\ & a< b < c \\ & \text { Mean }=18 \\ & \frac{9+25+a+b+c}{5}=18 \\ & 34+a+b+c=90 \\ & a+b+c=56 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{|9-18|+|25-18|+|a-18|+|b-18|+|c-18|}{5}=4 \\ & 9+7+|a-18|+|b-18|+|c-18|=20 \\ & |a-18|+|b-18|+|c-18|=4 \\ & \frac{136}{5}=\frac{706+a^2+b^2+c^2}{5}-(18)^2 \\ & \Rightarrow 136=706+a^2+b^2+c^2-1620 \\ & \Rightarrow a^2+b^2+c^2=1050 \\ & \text { Consider } a<19 < b< c \\ & \text { Solving } a=17, b=19, c=20 \\ & 2 a+b-c \\ & 34+19-20 \\ & =33 \end{aligned}$
Let the mean and the standard deviation of the probability distribution
| $\mathrm{X}$ | $\alpha$ | 1 | 0 | $-$3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $\mathrm{P(X)}$ | $\frac{1}{3}$ | $\mathrm{K}$ | $\frac{1}{6}$ | $\frac{1}{4}$ |
be $\mu$ and $\sigma$, respectively. If $\sigma-\mu=2$, then $\sigma+\mu$ is equal to ________.
Explanation:
Mean $(\mu)=\Sigma x_i P\left(x_i\right)$
Standard deviation $(\sigma)=\sqrt{\left(\Sigma x_i^2 P\left(x_i\right)\right)-\mu^2}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \mu=\frac{1}{3} \alpha+K-\frac{3}{4} \\ & \sigma=\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{3} \alpha^2+K+0+\frac{9}{4}\right)-\left(\frac{1}{3} \alpha+K-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2} \\ & \because \Sigma P_i=1 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}+K+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{4}=1 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad K=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow \mu=\frac{1}{3} \alpha-\frac{1}{2} \\ & \because \sigma-\mu=2 \\ & \sigma^2=(\mu+2)^2 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{3} \alpha^2+\frac{5}{2}-\mu^2=(\mu+2)^2 \\ & \frac{1}{3} \alpha^2+\frac{5}{2}=\left(\frac{1}{3} \alpha-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{3} \alpha+\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \alpha=0,6 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{array}{ll} \text { If } \alpha=0, K=\frac{1}{4} & \text { If } \alpha=6, K=\frac{1}{4} \\ \mu=-\frac{1}{2}, \sigma=\frac{3}{2} & \mu=\frac{3}{2}, \sigma=\frac{7}{2} \\ \sigma+\mu=1 & \sigma+\mu=5 \end{array}$
Both (1) and (5) are correct but according to NTA (5) is correct
The variance $\sigma^2$ of the data
| $x_i$ | 0 | 1 | 5 | 6 | 10 | 12 | 17 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $f_i$ | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 6 | 3 | 3 |
is _________.
Explanation:
| $\mathrm{x_i}$ | $\mathrm{f_i}$ | $\mathrm{f_i x_i}$ | $\mathrm{f_i x^2_i}$ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 5 | 3 | 15 | 75 |
| 6 | 2 | 12 | 72 |
| 10 | 6 | 60 | 600 |
| 12 | 3 | 36 | 432 |
| 17 | 3 | 51 | 867 |
| $\Sigma \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}=22$ | $\Sigma \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2048$ |
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \Sigma \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{i}}=176 \\ & \text { So } \overline{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}}=\frac{176}{22}=8 \\ & \text { for } \sigma^2=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~N}} \sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}{ }^2-(\overline{\mathrm{x}})^2 \\ & =\frac{1}{22} \times 2048-(8)^2 \\ & =93.090964 \\ & =29.0909 \\ & \end{aligned}$
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 _________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \overline{\mathrm{x}}=56 \\ & \sigma^2=66.2 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\alpha^2+\beta^2+25678}{10}-(56)^2=66.2 \\ & \therefore \alpha^2+\beta^2=6344 \end{aligned}$
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
$\begin{aligned} & =15\left(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2\right) \\ & =15\left(\frac{182}{15}+\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}+\frac{2339}{15}-\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}\right) \\ & =15\left(\frac{182}{15}+\frac{2339}{15}\right) \\ & =2521 \end{aligned}$
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} $
Concept :
(a) Mean $=\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}$
(b) Variance $=\frac{\Sigma\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2}{n}$
If the mean and variance of the frequency distribution
| $x_i$ | 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:
$\sigma_{\mathrm{x}}^{2}=\sigma_{\mathrm{d}}^{2}=\frac{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}}{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}}-\left(\frac{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}}\right)^{2}$
$=\frac{150}{45+\alpha}-0=3$
$\Rightarrow 150=135+3 \alpha$
$\Rightarrow 3 \alpha=15 \Rightarrow \alpha=5$
The mean and variance of 7 observations are 8 and 16 respectively. If one observation 14 is omitted and a and b are respectively mean and variance of remaining 6 observation, then $\mathrm{a+3 b-5}$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$\sum {{x_i} = 7 \times 8 = 56} $
${{\sum {x_i^2} } \over n} - {\left( {{{\sum {{x_i}} } \over n}} \right)^2} = 16$
${{\sum {x_i^2} } \over 7} - 64 = 16$
$\sum {x_i^2 = 560} $
when 14 is omitted
$\sum {{x_i} = 56 - 14 = 42} $
New mean $ = a = {{\sum {{x_i}} } \over 6} = 7$
$\sum {x_i^2 = 560 - 196 = 364} $
new variance, $b = {{\sum {x_i^2} } \over 6} - {\left( {{{\sum {{x_i}} } \over 6}} \right)^2}$
$ = {{364} \over 6} - 49 = {{35} \over 3}$
$3b = 35$
$a + 3b - 5 = 7 + 35 - 5 = 37$
Let $X=\{11,12,13,....,40,41\}$ and $Y=\{61,62,63,....,90,91\}$ be the two sets of observations. If $\overline x $ and $\overline y $ are their respective means and $\sigma^2$ is the variance of all the observations in $\mathrm{X\cup Y}$, then $\left| {\overline x + \overline y - {\sigma ^2}} \right|$ is equal to ____________.
Explanation:
$x = \{ 11,12,13\,....,40,41\} $
$y = \{ 61,62,63\,....,90,91\} $
$\overline x = {{{{31} \over 2}(11 + 41)} \over {31}} = {1 \over 2} \times 52 = 26$
$\overline y = {{{{31} \over 2}(61 + 91)} \over {31}} = {1 \over 2} \times 152 = 76$
${\sigma ^2} = {{\sum {x_i^2 + \sum {y_i^2} } } \over {62}} - {\left( {{{\sum {x + \sum y } } \over {62}}} \right)^2}$
$ = 705$
Now,
$\left| {\overline x + \overline y - {\sigma ^2}} \right|$
$ = |26 + 76 - 705| = 603$
Let the mean and the variance of 20 observations $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{20}$ be 15 and 9 , respectively. For $\alpha \in \mathbf{R}$, if the mean of $\left(x_{1}+\alpha\right)^{2},\left(x_{2}+\alpha\right)^{2}, \ldots,\left(x_{20}+\alpha\right)^{2}$ is 178 , then the square of the maximum value of $\alpha$ is equal to ________.
Explanation:
Given $\sum\limits_{{{i = 1} \over {20}}}^{20} {{x_i} = 15 \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i} = 300} } $
and $\sum\limits_{{{i = 1} \over {20}}}^{20} {x_i^2 - {{\left( {\overline x } \right)}^2} = 9 \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {x_i^2 = 4680} } $
Mean $ = {{{{({x_i} + \alpha )}^2} + {{({x_2} + \alpha )}^2}\, + \,.....\, + \,{{({x_{20}} + \alpha )}^2}} \over {20}} = 178$
$ \Rightarrow {{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {x_i^2 + 2\alpha \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i} + 20{\alpha ^2}} } } \over {20}} = 178$
$ \Rightarrow 4680 + 600\alpha + 20{\alpha ^2} = 3560$
$ \Rightarrow {\alpha ^2} + 30\alpha + 56 = 0$
$ \Rightarrow {\alpha ^2} + 28\alpha + 2\alpha + 56 = 0$
$ \Rightarrow (\alpha + 28)(\alpha + 2) = 0$
${\alpha _{\max }} = - 2 \Rightarrow \alpha _{\max }^2 = 4.$
Let $x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3}, \ldots, x_{20}$ be in geometric progression with $x_{1}=3$ and the common ratio $\frac{1}{2}$. A new data is constructed replacing each $x_{i}$ by $\left(x_{i}-i\right)^{2}$. If $\bar{x}$ is the mean of new data, then the greatest integer less than or equal to $\bar{x}$ is ____________.
Explanation:
${x_1},{x_2},{x_3},\,.....,\,{x_{20}}$ are in G.P.
${x_1} = 3,\,r = {1 \over 2}$
$\overline x = {{\sum {x_i^2 - 2{x_i}i + {i^2}} } \over {20}}$
$ = {1 \over {20}}\left[ {12\left( {1 - {1 \over {{2^{40}}}}} \right) - 6\left( {4 - {{11} \over {{2^{18}}}}} \right) + 70 \times 41} \right]$
$\left\{ {\matrix{ {S = 1 + 2\,.\,{1 \over 2} + 3\,.\,{1 \over {{2^2}}}\, + \,....} \cr {{S \over 2} = {1 \over 2} + {2 \over {{2^2}}}\, + \,....} \cr } } \right.$
$\left. {{S \over 2} = 2\left( {1 - {1 \over {{2^{20}}}}} \right) - {{20} \over {{2^{20}}}} = 4 - {{11} \over {{2^{18}}}}} \right\}$
$\therefore$ $[\overline x ] = \left[ {{{2858} \over {20}} - \left( {{{12} \over {240}} - {{66} \over {{2^{18}}}}} \right)\,.\,{1 \over {20}}} \right]$
$ = 142$
The mean and variance of 10 observations were calculated as 15 and 15 respectively by a student who took by mistake 25 instead of 15 for one observation. Then, the correct standard deviation is _____________.
Explanation:
Given ${{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{10} {{x_i}} } \over {10}} = 15$ ..... (1)
$ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{10} {{x_i} = 150} $
and ${{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{10} {x_i^2} } \over {10}} - {15^2} = 15$
$ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{10} {x_i^2 = 2400} $
Replacing 25 by 15 we get
$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{x_i} + 25 = 150} $
$ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{x_i} = 125} $
$\therefore$ Correct mean $ = {{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{x_i} + 15} } \over {10}} = {{125 + 15} \over {10}} = 14$
Similarly, $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^2 {x_i^2 = 2400 - {{25}^2} = 1775} $
$\therefore$ Correct variance $ = {{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {x_i^2 + {{15}^2}} } \over {10}} - {14^2}$
$ = {{1775 + 225} \over {10}} - {14^2} = 4$
$\therefore$ Correct $S.D = \sqrt 4 = 2$.
The mean and standard deviation of 40 observations are 30 and 5 respectively. It was noticed that two of these observations 12 and 10 were wrongly recorded. If $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the data after omitting the two wrong observations from the data, then $38 \sigma^{2}$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$\mu = {{\sum {{x_i}} } \over {40}} = 30 \Rightarrow \sum {{x_i} = 1200} $
${\sigma ^2} = {{\sum {x_i^2} } \over {40}} - {(30)^2} = 25 \Rightarrow \sum {x_i^2 = 37000} $
After omitting two wrong observations
$\sum {{y_i} = 1200 - 12 - 10 = 1178} $
$\sum {y_i^2 = 37000 - 144 - 100 = 36756} $
Now ${\sigma ^2} = {{\sum {y_i^2} } \over {38}} - {\left( {{{\sum {{y_i}} } \over {38}}} \right)^2}$
$ = {{36756} \over {38}} - {\left( {{{1178} \over {38}}} \right)^2} = - {31^2}$
$ = 38{\sigma ^2} = 36756 - 36518 = 238$
Suppose a class has 7 students. The average marks of these students in the mathematics examination is 62, and their variance is 20. A student fails in the examination if he/she gets less than 50 marks, then in worst case, the number of students can fail is _________.
Explanation:
According to given data
${{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{{({x_i} - 62)}^2}} } \over 7} = 20$
$ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{{({x_i} - 62)}^2} = 140} $
So for any xi, ${({x_i} - 62)^2} \le 140$
$ \Rightarrow {x_i} > 50\,\forall i = 1,2,3,\,\,.....\,\,7$
So no student is going to score less than 50.
The mean and standard deviation of 15 observations are found to be 8 and 3 respectively. On rechecking it was found that, in the observations, 20 was misread as 5. Then, the correct variance is equal to _____________.
Explanation:
${{\sum {x_i^2} } \over {15}} - {8^2} = 9 \Rightarrow \sum {x_i^2 = 15 \times 73 = 1095} $
Let ${\overline x _c}$ be corrected mean ${\overline x _c}$ = 9
$\sum {x_c^2 = 1095 - 25 + 400 = 1470} $
Correct variance $ = {{1470} \over {15}} - {(9)^2} = 98 - 81 = 17$
If the mean deviation about the mean of the numbers 1, 2, 3, .........., n, where n is odd, is ${{5(n + 1)} \over n}$, then n is equal to ______________.
Explanation:
Mean $ = {{n{{(n + 1)} \over 2}} \over n} = {{n + 1} \over 2}$
M.D. $ = {{2\left( {{{n - 1} \over 2} + {{n - 3} \over 2} + {{n - 5} \over 2} + \,\,\,...\,\,\,0} \right)} \over n} = {{5(n + 1)} \over n}$
$ \Rightarrow ((n - 1) + (n - 3) + (n - 5) + \,\,...\,\,0) = 5(n + 1)$
$ \Rightarrow \left( {{{n + 1} \over 4}} \right)\,.\,(n - 1) = 5(n + 1)$
So, $n = 21$
Explanation:
Tn = (3n + 4) (2n + 6) = 2(3n + 4) (n + 3)
= 2(3n2 + 13n + 12) = 6n2 + 26n + 24
S10 = $\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{10} {{T_n}} = 6\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{10} {{n^2}} + 26\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{10} n + 24\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{10} 1 $
$ = {{6(10 \times 11 \times 21)} \over 6} + 26 \times {{10 \times 11} \over 2} + 24 \times 10$
$ = 10 \times 11(21 + 13) + 240$
= 3980
Mean $ = {{{S_{10}}} \over {10}} = {{3980} \over {10}} = 398$
Explanation:
n1 = no. of boys
${\overline x _b}$ = 12
n2 = no. of girls
$\sigma _g^2$ = 2
${\overline x _g}$ = ${{50 \times 15 - 12 \times {\sigma _b}} \over {30}} = {{750 - 12 \times 20} \over {30}} = 17 = \mu $
variance of combined series
$\sigma _{}^2 = {{{n_1}\sigma _b^2 + {n_2}\sigma _g^2} \over {{n_1} + {n_2}}} + {{{n_1}.\,{n_2}} \over {{{({n_1} + {n_2})}^2}}}{\left( {{{\overline x }_b} - {{\overline x }_g}} \right)^2}$
$\sigma _{}^2 = {{20 \times 2 + 30 \times 2} \over {20 + 30}} + {{20 \times 30} \over {{{(20 + 30)}^2}}}{(12 - 17)^2}$
$\sigma$2 = 8
$\Rightarrow$ $\mu$ + $\sigma$2 = 17 + 8 = 25
Explanation:
Explanation:
Var(x) = $10 = {{{3^2} + {7^2} + {x^2} + {y^2}} \over 4} - 25$
$140 = 49 + 9 + {x^2} + {y^2}$
${x^2} + {y^2} = 82$
x + y = 10
$\Rightarrow$ (x, y) = (9, 1)
Four numbers are 21, 9, 10, 8
Mean = ${{48} \over 4}$ = 12
| Class : | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-40 | 40-50 | 50-60 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency : | $\alpha $ | 110 | 54 | 30 | $\beta $ |
If the sum of all frequencies is 584 and median is 45, then | $\alpha$ $-$ $\beta$ | is equal to _______________.
Explanation:
$\Rightarrow$ $\alpha$ + $\beta$ = 390
Now, median is at ${{584} \over 2}$ = 292th
$\because$ Median = 45 (lies in class 40 - 50)
$\Rightarrow$ $\alpha$ + 110 + 54 + 15 = 292
$\Rightarrow$ $\alpha$ = 113, $\beta$ = 277
$\Rightarrow$ | $\alpha$ $-$ $\beta$ | = 164
| Class : | 0-6 | 6-12 | 12-18 | 18-24 | 24-30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency : | $a $ | $b$ | 12 | 9 | 5 |
If mean = ${{309} \over {22}}$ and median = 14, then the value (a $-$ b)2 is equal to _____________.
Explanation:
| Class | Frequency | ${x_i}$ | ${f_i}{x_i}$ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-6 | a | 3 | 3a |
| 6-12 | b | 9 | 9b |
| 12-18 | 12 | 15 | 180 |
| 18-24 | 9 | 21 | 189 |
| 24-30 | 5 | 27 | 135 |
| $N = (26 + a + b)$ | $(504 + 3a + 9b)$ |
Mean = ${{3a + 9b + 180 + 189 + 135} \over {a + b + 26}} = {{309} \over {22}}$
$ \Rightarrow 66a + 198b + 11088 = 309a + 309b + 8034$
$ \Rightarrow 243a + 111b = 3054$
$ \Rightarrow 81a + 37b = 1018$ $\to$ (1)
Now, Median $ = 12 + {{{{a + b + c} \over 2} - (a + b)} \over {12}} \times 6 = 14$
$ \Rightarrow {{13} \over 2} - \left( {{{a + b} \over 4}} \right) = 2$
$ \Rightarrow {{a + b} \over 4} = {9 \over 2}$
$ \Rightarrow a + b = 18$ $\to$ (2)
From equation (1) $ (2)
a = 8, b = 10
$\therefore$ ${(a - b)^2} = {(8 - 10)^2}$ = 4
Explanation:
Here, Mean = 40 of 25 teachers
$\therefore$ 40 = ${{\sum x } \over {25}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\sum x $ = 40 $ \times $ 25 = 1000
After retireing of a 60 year old teacher, total age of 24 teachers,
x1 + x2 + . . . . . .x24 = 1000 $-$ 60 = 940
Now a new teacher of age A year is appointed.
$\therefore$ Now total age of this 25 teachers
x1 + x2 + x3 + . . . . . + x25 = 940 + A
$\therefore$ Mean age = ${{940 + A} \over {25}}$
According to question,
${{940 + A} \over {25}}$ = 39
$ \Rightarrow $ A = 35
Explanation:
and last n observations are y1, y2 ....................., yn
Now, ${{\sum {{x_i}} } \over {2n}} = 6$, ${{\sum {{y_i}} } \over n} = 3$
$ \Rightarrow \sum {{x_i}} = 12n,\sum {{y_i}} = 3n$
$ \therefore $ ${{\sum {{x_i}} + \sum {{y_i}} } \over {3n}} = {{15n} \over {3n}} = 5$
Now, ${{\sum {x_i^2} + \sum {y_i^2} } \over {3n}} - {5^2} = 4$
$ \Rightarrow \sum {x_i^2} + \sum {y_i^2} = 29 \times 3n = 87n$
Now, mean is ${{\sum {({x_i} + 1) + \sum {({y_i} - 1)} } } \over {3n}} = {{15n + 2n - n} \over {3n}} = {{16} \over 3}$
Now, variance is ${{{{\sum {{{({x_i} + 1)}^2} + \sum {({y_i} - 1)} } }^2}} \over {3n}} - {\left( {{{16} \over 3}} \right)^2}$
$ = {{\sum {x_i^2 + \sum {y_i^2} + 2\left( {\sum {{x_i}} - \sum {{y_i}} } \right) + 3n} } \over {3n}} - {\left( {{{16} \over 3}} \right)^2}$
$ = {{87n + 2(9n) + 3n} \over {3n}} - {\left( {{{16} \over 3}} \right)^2}$
= $29 + 6 + 1 - {\left( {{{16} \over 3}} \right)^2}$
$ = {{324 - 256} \over 9} = {{68} \over 9} = k$
$ \Rightarrow $ 9k = 68
Therefore, the correct answer is 68.
| Size | Mean | Variance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Observation I | 10 | 2 | 2 |
| Observation II | n | 3 | 1 |
If the variance of the combined set of these two observations is ${{17} \over 9}$, then the value of n is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
${{\sum {{x_i^2}} } \over {10}} - {(2)^2} = 2 \Rightarrow \sum {x_i^2} = 60$
For group - 2 : ${{\sum {{y_i}} } \over n} = 3 \Rightarrow \sum {{y_i}} = 3n$
${{\sum {y_i^2} } \over n} - {3^2} = 1 \Rightarrow \sum {y_i^2} = 10n$
Now, combined variance
${\sigma ^2} = {{\sum {\left( {x_i^2 + y_i^2} \right)} } \over {10 + n}} - {\left( {{{\sum {\left( {{x_i} + {y_i}} \right)} } \over {10 + n}}} \right)^2}$
$ \Rightarrow {{17} \over 9} = {{60 + 10n} \over {10 + n}} - {{{{(20 + 3n)}^2}} \over {{{(10 + n)}^2}}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ 17 (n2 + 20n + 100) = 9(n2 + 40n + 200)
$ \Rightarrow $ 8n2 $-$ 20n $-$ 100 = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ 2n2 $-$ 5n $-$ 25 = 0 $ \Rightarrow $ n = 5
that $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {({X_i} - } \alpha ) = 36$ and $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {({X_i} - } \beta {)^2} = 90$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are distinct real numbers. If the standard deviation of these observations is 1, then the value of | $\alpha$ $-$ $\beta$ | is ____________.
Explanation:
$ \Rightarrow \sum {{x_i} - 18\alpha = 36} $
$ \Rightarrow \sum {{x_i} = 18(\alpha + 2)} $ .... (1)
Also, $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{18} {{{({x_1} - \beta )}^2} = 90} $
$ \Rightarrow \sum {x_i^2 + 18{\beta ^2} - 2\beta \sum {{x_i} = 90} } $
$ \Rightarrow \sum {x_i^2 + 18{\beta ^2} + 2\beta \times 18(\alpha + 2) = 90} $ (using equation (1))
$ \Rightarrow \sum {x_i^2 = 90} - 18{\beta ^2} + 36\beta (\alpha + 2)$
Given, ${\sigma ^2} = 1 \Rightarrow {1 \over {18}}{\sum {x_i^2 - \left( {{{\sum {{x_i}} } \over {18}}} \right)} ^2} = 1$
$ = {1 \over {18}}(90 - 18{\beta ^2} + 36\alpha \beta + 72\beta ) - {\left( {{{18(\alpha + 2)} \over {18}}} \right)^2} = 1$
$ \Rightarrow 90 - 18{\beta ^2} + 36\alpha \beta + 72\beta - 18{(\alpha + 2)^2} = 18$
$ \Rightarrow 5 - {\beta ^2} + 2\alpha \beta + 4\beta - {(\alpha + 2)^2} = 1$
$ \Rightarrow 5 - {\beta ^2} + 2\alpha \beta + 4\beta - {\alpha ^2} - 4 - 4\alpha = 1$
$ \Rightarrow {\alpha ^2} - {\beta ^2} + 2\alpha \beta + 4\beta - 4\alpha = 0$
$ \Rightarrow (\alpha - \beta )(\alpha - \beta + 4) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow \alpha - \beta = - 4$
$ \therefore $ $|\alpha - \beta |\, = 4$ $(\alpha \ne \beta )$
Explanation:
${\sigma ^2} = {{(9 + {k^2})} \over {10}} - {\left( {{{9 + k} \over {10}}} \right)^2} < 10$
$(90 + {k^2})10 - (81 + {k^2} + 8k) < 1000$
$90 + 10{k^2} - {k^2} - 18k - 81 < 1000$
$9{k^2} - 18k + 9 < 1000$
${(k - 1)^2} < {{1000} \over 9} \Rightarrow k - 1 < {{10\sqrt {10} } \over 3}$
$k < {{10\sqrt {10} } \over 3} + 1$
k $ \le $ 11
Maximum integral value of k = 11.
0, 2, 4, 8,....., 2n with frequencies
nC0 , nC1 , nC2 ,...., nCn respectively. If the
mean of this data is ${{728} \over {{2^n}}}$, then n is equal to _________ .
Explanation:
= ${{0.{}^n{C_0} + 2.{}^n{C_1} + {2^2}.{}^n{C_2} + ... + {2^n}.{}^n{C_n}} \over {{}^n{C_0} + {}^n{C_1} + ... + {}^n{C_n}}}$
We know,
(1 + x)n = ${{}^n{C_0} + {}^n{C_1}x + {}^n{C_2}{x^2} + ... + {}^n{C_n}{x^n}}$ ...(1)
Put x = 2, at (1) we get
$ \Rightarrow $ 3n - 1 = ${2.{}^n{C_1} + {2^2}.{}^n{C_2} + ... + {2^n}.{}^n{C_n}}$
And Putting x = 1 in (1), we get
2n = ${{}^n{C_0} + {}^n{C_1} + ... + {}^n{C_n}}$
$ \therefore $ Mean = ${{{3^n} - 1} \over {{2^n}}}$
According to question,
${{{3^n} - 1} \over {{2^n}}}$ = ${{728} \over {{2^n}}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ 3n = 729
$ \Rightarrow $ n = 6
Class : 10–20 20–30 30–40
Frequency : 2 x 2
is 50, then x is equal to____
Explanation:

Variance($\sigma^{2})$$ =\frac{\sum f_{i}\left( x_{i}-\bar{x} \right)^{2} }{\sum f_{i}} $
Also, $\bar{x} =\frac{\sum f_{i}x_{i}}{\sum f_{i}} $
= $\frac{30+25x+70}{2+2+x} $ = 25
Given, Variance = 50
$ \therefore $ 50 = $\frac{200+0+200}{2+2+x} $
$ \Rightarrow $ x = 4
b1 , b2 , b3 ,....,b11 is 90, then the common difference of this A.P. is_______.
Explanation:
and ${b_1} = a$
${b_2} = a + d$
${b_3} = a + 2d$
... ${b_{11}} = a + 10d$
Variance = ${{\sum {a_i^2} } \over {11}} - {\left( {{{\sum {{a_i}} } \over {11}}} \right)^2} = 90$
$ \Rightarrow {{{a^2} + {{\left( {a + d} \right)}^2} + ... + {{\left( {a + 10d} \right)}^2}} \over {11}} - {\left( {{{a + \left( {a + d} \right) + ... + \left( {a + 10d} \right)} \over {11}}} \right)^2} = 90$
$ \Rightarrow 11\left[ {11{a^2} + 385{d^2} + 110ad} \right] - {\left[ {11a + 55d} \right]^2} = 10890$
$ \Rightarrow 1210{d^2} = 10890$
$ \Rightarrow {d^2} = 9$
$ \Rightarrow d = \pm 3$
As A.P is increasing so d should be positive
$ \therefore $ d = 3
Explanation:
16 = x + y ....(1)
Variance (${\sigma ^2}$) = 25
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{{3^2} + {7^2} + {9^2} + {{12}^2} + {{13}^2} + {{20}^2} + {x^2} + {y^2}} \over 8}$ - 100 = 25
$ \Rightarrow $ 125 × 8 = 9 + 49 + 81 + 144 + 169 + 400 + x2 + y2 - 800
$ \Rightarrow $ x2 + y2 = 148
We know, (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy
$ \Rightarrow $ 256 = 148 + 2xy
$ \Rightarrow $ x.y = 54
Explanation:
variance of (1, 2, ….. n)
10 = ${{{1^2} + {2^2} + .... + {n^2}} \over n} - {\left( {{{1 + 2 + 3 + .... + n} \over n}} \right)^2}$
on solving we get n = 11
variance of 2, 4, 6…….2m = 16
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{{2^2} + {4^2} + .... + {{\left( {2m} \right)}^2}} \over m} - {\left( {m + 1} \right)^2}$ = 16
$ \Rightarrow $ m2 = 49
$ \Rightarrow $ m = 7
$ \therefore $ m + n = 18
