While calculating the mean and variance of 10 readings, a student wrongly used the reading 52 for the correct reading 25. He obtained the mean and variance as 45 and 16 respectively. Find the correct mean and the variance.
While calculating the mean and variance of 10 readings, a student wrongly used the reading 52 for the correct reading 25. He obtained the mean and variance as 45 and 16 respectively. Find the correct mean and the variance.
Given $n=10, \bar{x}=45$ and $\sigma^{2}=16$
$\begin{array}{c}\bar{x}=45 \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{n}=45 \\\Rightarrow \quad \frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{10}=45 \Rightarrow \quad \Sigma x_{i}=450 \\\text { Corrected } \Sigma x_{i}=450-52+25=423\end{array}$
$\therefore \quad$ Corrected mean, $\bar{x}=\frac{423}{10}=42.3$
$\Rightarrow \quad \sigma^{2}=\frac{\Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{n}-\left(\frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{n}\right)^{2}$
$\begin{array}{ll}\Rightarrow & 16=\frac{\Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{10}-(45)^{2} \\ \Rightarrow & \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=20410\end{array}$
$\therefore \quad$ Corrected $\Sigma x_{i}^{2}=20410-(53)^{2}+(25)^{2}=18331$
And Corrected $\sigma^{2}=\frac{18331}{10}-(42.3)^{2}=43.81$
