The mean and variance of $20$ observations are found to be $10$ and $4,$ respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation $9$ was incorrect and the correct observation was $11$. Then the correct variance is

A

$3.99$

B

$3.98$

C

$4.02$

D

$4.01$

(JEE MAIN-2020)

Solution

$\frac{\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{20}=10 \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=200$

$\frac{\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}}{20}-100=4 \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}=2080$

Actual mean $=\frac{200-9+11}{20}=\frac{202}{20}$

Variance $=\frac{2080-81+121}{20}-\left(\frac{202}{20}\right)^{2}=3.99$
