The mean of $n$ observations $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n}$ is $\bar{x}$. If an observation $x_{q}$ is replaced by $x_{q}^{\prime}$,then the new mean is:

  • A
    $\bar{x} - x_{q} + x_{q}^{\prime}$
  • B
    $\frac{(n-1) \bar{x} + x_{q}^{\prime}}{n}$
  • C
    $\frac{(n-1) \bar{x} - x_{q}^{\prime}}{n}$
  • D
    $\frac{n \bar{x} - x_{q} + x_{q}^{\prime}}{n}$

The mean and standard deviation of $20$ observations are found to be $10$ and $2$,respectively. It was later discovered that one observation was mistakenly recorded as $8$ instead of $12$. The correct standard deviation is:

In a frequency distribution,if $d_i$ is the deviation of observations from $a$,and the mean is given by $\text{Mean} = a + \frac{\Sigma f_i d_i}{\Sigma f_i}$,then what is $a$?

The mean of five observations is $4$ and their variance is also $4$. If three of the five observations are $1, 3, 4$,then the product of the other two is:

For the set $A = \{x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5\}$,the variance is $4$ and the mean is $2$. For the set $B = \{y_1, y_2, y_3, y_4, y_5\}$,the variance is $5$ and the mean is $4$. Then,the variance of $A \cup B$ is

If $\bar{x}_1$ and $\bar{x}_2$ are the means of two distributions such that $\bar{x}_1 < \bar{x}_2$ and $\bar{x}$ is the mean of the combined distribution,then
