(B) Given $n = 20$,Incorrect Mean $\bar{x} = 10$,Incorrect Standard Deviation $\sigma = 2$.Incorrect sum of observations $\sum x_i = n 	imes \bar{x} = 20 	imes 10 = 200$.Correct sum of observations $= 200 - 8 + 12 = 204$.Correct mean $= \frac{204}{20} = 10.2$.Using the formula $\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{n} \sum x_i^2 - (\bar{x})^2$,we have $2^2 = \frac{1}{20} \sum x_i^2 - 10^2$.$4 = \frac{1}{20} \sum x_i^2 - 100 \Rightarrow \sum x_i^2 = 20 	imes 104 = 2080$.Correct $\sum x_i^2 = 2080 - 8^2 + 12^2 = 2080 - 64 + 144 = 2160$.Correct standard deviation $= \sqrt{\frac{2160}{20} - (10.2)^2} = \sqrt{108 - 104.04} = \sqrt{3.96} \approx 1.9899$.

The mean and standard deviation of $20$ observations are found to be $10$ and $2$ respectively. On rechecking,it was found that an observation $8$ was incorrect. If the incorrect observation $8$ is replaced by $12$,calculate the correct mean and standard deviation.
