Consider the statistics of two sets of observations as follows:
Set Size Mean Variance
Observation $I$ $10$ $2$ $2$
Observation $II$ $n$ $3$ $1$

If the variance of the combined set of these two observations is $\frac{17}{9}$,then the value of $n$ is equal to:

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $15$

Consider the following frequency distribution:
Value $4$ $5$ $8$ $9$ $6$ $12$ $11$
Frequency $5$ $f_1$ $f_2$ $2$ $1$ $1$ $3$

Suppose that the sum of the frequencies is $19$ and the median of this frequency distribution is $6$. For the given frequency distribution,let $\alpha$ denote the mean deviation about the mean,$\beta$ denote the mean deviation about the median,and $\sigma^2$ denote the variance. Match each entry in List-$I$ to the correct entry in List-$II$ and choose the correct option.

The mean of $n$ observations $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n}$ is $\bar{x}$. If an observation $x_{q}$ is replaced by $x_{q}^{\prime}$, then the new mean is:

Mean and standard deviation of $100$ observations were found to be $40$ and $10$,respectively. If at the time of calculation,two observations were wrongly taken as $30$ and $70$ in place of $3$ and $27$ respectively,find the correct standard deviation.
