Let the mean and the variance of 6 observations a, b, 68, 44, 48, 60 be 55 and 194, respectively. If a>b, then a+3b is
- 180
- 210
- 190
- 200
Answer
(1) 180
Solution
Mean: a+b+2206=55 a+b=110
Variance: (xi-55)26=194 (a-55)2+(b-55)2+169+121+49+25=1164
(a-55)2+(b-55)2=800
∵ a+b=110, put a-55=t, b-55=-t 2t2=800 t=20 ∵ a>b
a=75, b=35
a+3b=75+105=180
Answer: (1)
