Let in a series of 2n observations, half of them are equal to a and remaining half are equal to –a. Also by adding a constant b in each of these observations, the mean and standard deviation of new set become 5 and 20, respectively. Then the value of a² + b² is equal to :

Option 1 - <p>650<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 2 - <p>925</p>
Option 3 - <p>425<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 4 - <p>250</p>

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

The data consists of n values of a and n values of -a.
Mean x? = (n*a + n* (-a) / 2n = 0 / 2n = 0.
Variance σ² = (Σx? ²)/N - x? ² = (n*a² + n* (-a)²) / 2n - 0² = 2na² / 2n = a².
If a value b is added to all observations, the new mean is x? ' = x? + b = 0 + b = b.
We are given the new mean is 5, so b=5.
A

N = f = 2 7

( N 2 ) = 2 7 2 = 1 3 . 5

So, we have median lies in the class 12 – 16

I1 = 12, f = 8, h = 4, c.f. = 13

So, here we apply formula

M = I 1 + N 2 c . f . f × h = 1 2 + 1 3 . 5 1 3 8 × 4

= 1 2 + 5 2

M = 2 4 . 5 2 = 1 2 . 2 5

a2 + b2 = 19314 – 11760

From here b = 41.795

a + b = 118
