The mean and variance of 5 observations of an experiment are 4 and 5.2 respectively. If from these observations three are 1, 2 and 6, then remaining will be
Solution : As given \(\bar{x}\) = 4, n = 5 and \({\sigma}^2\) = 5.2. If the remaining observations are \(x_1\), \(x_2\) then \({\sigma}^2\) = \(\sum{(x_i โ \bar{x})}^2\over n\) = 5.2 \(\implies\) \({(x_1-4)}^2 + {(x_2-4)}^2 + {(1-4)}^2 + {2-4)}^2 + {(6-4)}^2\over 5\) = 5.2 \(\implies\) \({(x_1-4)}^2 + {(x_2-4)}^2\) = 9ย โฆ..(1) Also \(\bar{x}\) = 4 \(\implies\) โฆ
