The mean of a series $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$ is $\bar{X}$. If $x_2$ is replaced by $\lambda$,what will be the new mean?

  • A
    $\frac{\bar{X} - x_2 + \lambda}{n}$
  • B
    $\frac{n\bar{X} + x_2 - \lambda}{n}$
  • C
    $\frac{(n - 1)\bar{X} + \lambda}{n}$
  • D
    $\frac{n\bar{X} - x_2 + \lambda}{n}$

The mean and standard deviation of a set of $n_{1}$ observations are $\bar{x}_{1}$ and $s_{1},$ respectively,while the mean and standard deviation of another set of $n_{2}$ observations are $\bar{x}_{2}$ and $s_{2},$ respectively. Show that the standard deviation of the combined set of $(n_{1}+n_{2})$ observations is given by $SD = \sqrt{\frac{n_{1}(s_{1})^{2}+n_{2}(s_{2})^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}+\frac{n_{1} n_{2}(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})^{2}}{(n_{1}+n_{2})^{2}}}$.
