The mean and standard deviation of $100$ observations were calculated as $40$ and $5.1$,respectively,by a student who took by mistake $50$ instead of $40$ for one observation. What are the correct mean and standard deviation?

  • A
    $39.9, 5$
  • B
    $40, 5.1$
  • C
    $39.9, 4.9$
  • D
    $40, 4.9$

The mean of a data set comprising $16$ observations is $16$. If one observation with value $16$ is deleted and three new observations with values $3, 4,$ and $5$ are added to the data,then the mean of the resultant data is:

Let $a, b \in R$. Let the mean and the variance of $6$ observations $-3, 4, 7, -6, a, b$ be $2$ and $23$,respectively. The mean deviation about the mean of these $6$ observations is:

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.
