Question 11.
The arithmetic mean and standard deviation of a series of 20 items were calculated by a student as 20 cm and 5 cm respectively. But while calculating them, item 13 was misread as 30. Find the corrected mean and standard deviation.
Solution:
n = 20, \(\bar{x}\) = 20, σx = 5 …..(given)
\(\bar{x}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}} \sum x_{\mathrm{i}}\)
∴ \(\sum x_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{n} \bar{x}\) = 20 × 20 = 400
Corrected Σxi = Σxi – (incorrect observation) + (correct observation)
= 400 – 30 + 13
= 383
Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Measures of Dispersion Miscellaneous Exercise 8 II Q11
Corrected \(\sum x_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}\) = \(\sum x_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}\) – (incorrect observation)2 + (correct observation)2
= 8500 – (30)2 + (13)2
= 8500 – 900 + 169
= 7769

Question 13.
The mean height of 200 students is 65 inches. The mean heights of boys and girls are 70 inches and 62 inches respectively and the standard deviations are 8 and 10 respectively. Find the number of boys and combined S.D.
Solution:
Let n1 and n2 be the number of boys and girls respectively.
Let n = 200, \(\bar{x}_{c}\) = 65, \(\bar{x}_{1}\) = 70, \(\bar{x}_{2}\) = 62, σ1 = 8, σ2 = 10
Here, n1 + n2 = n
n1 + n2 = 200 ……(i)
Combined mean (\(\bar{x}_{c}\)) = \(\frac{n_{1} \bar{x}_{1}+n_{2} \bar{x}_{2}}{n_{i}+n_{2}}\)
65 = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}_{1}(70)+\mathrm{n}_{2}(62)}{200}\) …… [From (i)]
70n1 + 62n2 = 13000
35n1 + 31n2 = 6500 …..(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
n1 = 75, n2 = 125
Number of boys = 75
