Detailed Solution:and
x5 = 10
Variance
and
49 + 49 +

4a + 149 = 154
4a = 5
now 4a + x5 = 15

………. (i)
after omitting two wrong observations
Since, variance is independent of origin.
So, we subtract 10 from each observation.
So,
From (1) and (2) ; and
= 2, 28
Since, exist
Now, take
…. (i)
And variance
……. (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
x = 4 and y = 8
