The mean of $5$ observations is $4.4$ and their variance is $8.24$. If three observations are $1, 2$ and $6$, the other two observations are
A
$4$ and $8$
B
$4$ and $9$
C
$5$ and $7$
D
$5$ and $9$
Solution
(b) Let the two unknown items be $x$ and $y$.
Then, mean $ = 4.4 \Rightarrow \frac{{1 + 2 + 6 + x + y}}{5} = 4.4$
==> $x + y = 13$…..$(i)$
and variance $= 8.24$
==> $\frac{{{1^2} + {2^2} + {6^2} + {x^2} + {y^2}}}{5}$ -${({\rm{mean}})^2} = 8.24$
==> $41 + {x^2} + {y^2} = 5\,\{ {(4.4)^2} + 8.24\} $
==> ${x^2} + {y^2} = 97$…..$(ii)$
Solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$ for $x$ and $y$, we get
$x = 9,\,\,y = 4$ or $x = 4,y = 9$.
