The mean and variance of a data of 10 observations are 10 and 2, respectively. If an observation in this data is replaced by , then the mean and variance become 10.1 and 1.99, respectively. Then + equals

  2. 10
  3. 5
  4. 20

Answer

(4) 20

Solution

Original data: xi = 10 10 = 100

Variance: xi210 - 102 = 2 xi2 = 1020

New data: xi' = 10 10.1 = 101

100 - + = 101 - = 1

New variance: xi'210 - (10.1)2 = 1.99

xi'210 = 102.01 + 1.99 = 104 xi'2 = 1040

1020 - 2 + 2 = 1040 2 - 2 = 20

( - )( + ) = 20

+ = 201 = 20
