hard
The mean and variance of the marks obtained by the students in a test are $10$ and $4$ respectively. Later, the marks of one of the students is increased from $8$ to $12$ . If the new mean of the marks is $10.2.$ then their new variance is equal to :
A
$4.04$
B
$4.08$
C
$3.96$
D
$3.92$
(JEE MAIN-2023)
Solution
$\sum \limits_{ i =1}^{ n } x _{ i }=10\,n$
$\text { Now } \frac{\sum \limits_{ i =1}^{ n } x _{ i }^2}{20} x _{ i }-8+12=(10.2) n \quad \therefore n =20$
$\frac{\sum \limits_{ i =1}^{20} x _{ i }2-8^2+12^2}{20}-4 \Rightarrow \sum \limits_{ i =1}^{20} x _{ i }^2=2080$
$=108-104.04=3.96$
