The mean life of a sample of 60 bulbs was 650 hours and the standard deviation was 8 hours. A second sample of 80 bulbs has a mean life of 660 hours and standard deviation 7 hours. Find the overall standard deviation.
The mean life of a sample of 60 bulbs was 650 hours and the standard deviation was 8 hours. A second sample of 80 bulbs has a mean life of 660 hours and standard deviation 7 hours. Find the overall standard deviation.
Here, $n_{1}=60, \bar{x}_{1}=650, s_{1}=8$ and $n_{2}=80, \bar{x}_{2}=660, s_{2}=7$
$\therefore \quad \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{n_{1} s_{1}^{2}+n_{2} s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}+\frac{n_{1} n_{2}\left(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2}\right)^{2}}{\left(n_{1}+n_{2}\right)^{2}}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{60 \times(8)^{2}+80 \times(7)^{2}}{60+80}+\frac{60 \times 80(650-660)^{2}}{(60+80)^{2}}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{6 \times 64+8 \times 49}{14}+\frac{60 \times 80 \times 100}{140 \times 140}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{192+196}{7}+\frac{1200}{49}=\sqrt{\frac{388}{7}+\frac{1200}{49}}}{\sqrt{\frac{2716+1200}{49}}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{3915}{49}}=\sqrt{79.9}=8.9$
