The mean of the numbers $a, b, 8, 5, 10$ is $6$ and the variance is $6.80.$ Then which one of the following gives possible values of $a$ and $b$ $?$

A

$a=0 ,b=7$

B

$a=5 ,b=2$

C

$a=1 ,b=6$

D

$a=3 ,b=4$

(AIEEE-2008)

Solution

$6.80=\frac{(6-a)^{2}+(6-b)^{2}+(6-8)^{2}+(6-5)^{2}+(6-10)^{2}}{5}$

$\Rightarrow(6-a)^{2}+(6-b)^{2}+4+1+16=34$

$(6-a)^{2}+(6-b)^{2}=34-21$

$(6-a)^{2}+(6-b)^{2}=13$

$(6-a)^{2}+(6-b)^{2}=9+4$

$(6-a)^{2}+(6-b)^{2}=3^{2}+2^{2}$

$(6-a)^{2}=3^{2}(6-b)^{2}=2^{2}$

$6-a=3 \quad 6-b=2$

$-a=-3 \quad-b=-4$

$a=3$

$b=4$

The mean and standard deviation of some data for the time taken to complete . a test are calculated with the following results:

Number of observations $=25,$ mean $=18.2$ seconds, standard deviation $=3.25 s$

Further, another set of 15 observations $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{15},$ also in seconds, is now available and we have $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_{i}=279$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_{i}^{2}=5524 .$ Calculate the standard deviation based on all 40 observations.
