Mean and standard deviation of 100 observations were found to be 40 and 10 , respectively. If at the time of calculation two observations were wrongly taken as 30 and 70 in place of 3 and 27 respectively, find the correct standard deviation.
Given, $n=100, \bar{x}=40$ and $\sigma=10$
$\therefore \quad \frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{n}=40$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{100}=40$
$\Rightarrow \quad \Sigma x_{i}=4000$
Now, Corrected $\Sigma x_{i}=4000-30-70+3+27=3930$
Corrected mean $=\frac{2930}{100}=39.3$
Now, $\sigma^{2}=\frac{\Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{n}-\left(\frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{n}\right)^{2}=\frac{\Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{n}-(40)^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \quad 100=\frac{\Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}-1600$
$\Rightarrow \quad \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=170000$
Now, $\quad$ Corrected $\Sigma x_{i}^{2}=170000-(30)^{2}-(70)^{2}+3^{2}+(27)^{2}=164938$
Corrected $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{164938}{100}-(39.3)^{2}}=\sqrt{1649.38-1544.49}=\sqrt{104.9}$
$=10.24$
The mean and $S.D.$ of $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$ is
In a series of $2n$ observations, half of them equal to $a$ and remaining half equal to $-a$. If the standard deviation of the observations is $2$, then $|a|$ equals
If $\sum_{i=1}^{5}(x_i-10)=5$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{5}(x_i-10)^2=5$ then standard deviation of observations $2x_1 + 7, 2x_2 + 7, 2x_3 + 7, 2x_4 + 7$ and $2x_5 + 7$ is equal to-
If $\sum \limits_{i=1}^{n}\left(x_{i}-a\right)=n$ and $\sum \limits_{i=1}^{n}\left(x_{i}-a\right)^{2}=n a,(n, a>1)$ then the standard deviation of $n$ observations $x _{1}, x _{2}, \ldots, x _{ n }$ is
