The mean and standard deviation of $20$ observations are found to be $10$ and $2$,respectively. It was later discovered that one observation was mistakenly recorded as $8$ instead of $12$. The correct standard deviation is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{3.86}$
  • B
    $1.8$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3.96}$
  • D
    $1.94$

For a group of $100$ students,the mean $\bar{x}_1$ and the standard deviation $\sigma_1$ of their marks were found to be $40$ and $15$ respectively. Later,it was observed that the scores $40$ and $50$ were misread as $30$ and $60$ respectively. If the mean and the standard deviation with the corrected observations of the scores are $\bar{x}_2$ and $\sigma_2$ respectively,then:

Let the mean and the variance of $5$ observations $x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3}, x_{4}, x_{5}$ be $\frac{24}{5}$ and $\frac{194}{25}$ respectively. If the mean and variance of the first $4$ observations are $\frac{7}{2}$ and $a$ respectively,then $(4a + x_{5})$ is equal to

The mean and standard deviation of $40$ observations are $30$ and $5$ respectively. It was noticed that two of these observations $12$ and $10$ were wrongly recorded.
