A data consists of 20 observations x1, x2, , x20. If i=120 (xi+5 )2=2500 and i=120 (xi-5 )2=100, then the ratio of mean to standard deviation of this data is :
- 2 : 1
- 3 : 1
- 3 : 2
- 4 : 1
Answer
(2) 3 : 1
Solution
(xi+5 )2= xi2+10 xi+20 25=2500
xi2+10 xi=2000 … (i)
(xi-5 )2= xi2-10 xi+500=100
xi2-10 xi=-400 … (ii)
(i) - (ii) : 20 xi=2400 xi=120
Mean x= 12020=6
(i) + (ii) : 2 xi2=1600 xi2=800
Variance 2= xi220- x2=40-36=4 =2
Mean : S.D. =6 : 2=3 : 1
Answer: (2)
