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 -

650

Option 2 -

925

Option 3 -

425

Option 4 -

250

    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.
    Adding a constant does not change the variance. The new variance is still a².
    We are given the new standard deviation is 20, so the new variance is 20² = 400.
    Thus, a² = 400.
    The required value is a² + b² = 400 + 5² = 400 + 25 = 425.

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

20 M = 20 × 12.25

  a + b + 6 8 + 4 4 + 4 0 + 6 0 6 = 5 5

212 + a + b = 330

a + b = 118

x i 2 n ( x ¯ ) 2 = 1 9 4          

a 2 + b 2 + ( 6 8 ) 2 + ( 4 4 ) 2 + ( 4 0 ) 2 + ( 6 0 ) 2 6 = ( 5 5 ) 2 = 1 9 4

= 3219

11760 + a2 + b2 = 19314

a2 + b2 = 19314 – 11760

= 7554

(a + b)2 –2ab = 7554

From here b = 41.795

a + b = 118

a + b + 2b = 118 + 83.59

= 201.59

Kindly go throuigh the solution

Given   i = 1 1 8 ( x i α ) = 3 6 i . e i = 1 1 8 x i 1 8 α = 3 6 . . . . . . . . . . ( i )

&       i = 1 1 8 ( x i β ) 2 = 9 0 i . e i = 1 1 8 x i 2 2 β x i + 1 8 β 2 = 9 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( i i )      

(i) & (ii)   i = 1 1 8 x i 2 = 9 0 1 8 β + 3 6 β ( α + 2 ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( i i i )

Now variance σ 2 = x i 2 n ( x i n ) 2 = 1 given

->(a - b) (a - b + 4) = 0

Since α β s o | α β | = 4
