If the standard deviation of the numbers $ 2,3,a $ and $11$ is $3.5$ then which of the following is true ?
A
$3{a^2} - 34a + 91 = 0$
B
$\;3{a^2} - 23a + 44 = 0$
C
$3{a^2} - 26a + 55 = 0$
D
$\;3{a^2} - 32a + 84 = 0$
(JEE MAIN-2016)
Solution
$\mathrm{SD}=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}}{\mathrm{n}}-\left(\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\mathrm{n}}\right)^{2}}$
$\frac{49}{4}=\frac{4+9+a^{2}+121}{4}-\left(\frac{16+a}{4}\right)^{2}$
$3 a^{2}-32 a+84=0$

The following values are calculated in respect of heights and weights of the students of a section of Class $\mathrm{XI}:$
Height | Weight | |
Mean | $162.6\,cm$ | $52.36\,kg$ |
Variance | $127.69\,c{m^2}$ | $23.1361\,k{g^2}$ |
Can we say that the weights show greater variation than the heights?
