For 10 observations x1, x2, , x10, if i=110 (xi+2 )2=180 and i=110 (xi-1 )2=90, then their standard deviation is :
- 2
- 3
- 2 2
- 3
Answer
(4) 3
Solution
(xi+2)2= xi2+4 xi+40=180 ...(i)
(xi-1)2= xi2-2 xi+10=90 ...(ii)
(i) - (ii): 6 xi+30=90 xi=10
From (ii): xi2=90+20-10=100
2= 10010- ( 1010 )2=10-1=9
=3
Answer: (4)
