  • A
    $37$
  • B
    $42$
  • C
    $247$
  • D

In an experiment with $15$ observations for $x$,the following results were available: $\sum x^2 = 2830$ and $\sum x = 170$. One observation $20$ was found to be wrong and was replaced by the correct value $30$. Then the corrected variance is:

Two plants $A$ and $B$ of a factory show the following results regarding the number of workers and the wages paid to them:
\text{Parameter}\text{Plant } $A$ \text{ and } $B$ \text{ Data}
\text{No. of workers}$A: 500, B: 6000$
\text{Average monthly wages}$A: Rs. 2500, B: Rs. 2500$
\text{Variance of distribution of wages}$A: 81, B: 100$

In which plant,$A$ or $B$,is there greater variability in individual wages?

In a series of $2n$ observations,half of them are equal to $a$ and the remaining half are equal to $-a$. If the standard deviation of these observations is $2$,then $|a|$ equals:

Variance of first $n$ natural numbers is $\qquad$ .

The mean and standard deviation of some data for the time taken to complete a test are calculated with the following results:
Number of observations $= 25$,mean $= 18.2 \text{ seconds}$,standard deviation $= 3.25 \text{ s}$.
Further,another set of $15$ observations $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{15}$,also in seconds,is now available and we have $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_{i} = 279$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_{i}^{2} = 5524$. Calculate the standard deviation based on all $40$ observations.
