JEE Main & Advanced AIEEE Solved Paper-2010

  • question_answer
      For two data sets, each of size 5, the variances are given to be 4 and 5 and the corresponding means are given to be 2 and 4, respectively. The variance of the combined data set is -       AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2010

    A) \[\frac{5}{2}\]   

    B)                        \[\frac{11}{2}\]                

    C)        \[6\]                     

    D)        \[\frac{13}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{n}_{1}}=5\]                                  \[{{n}_{2}}=5\] \[\sigma _{1}^{2}=4\]                                    \[\sigma _{2}^{2}=5\] \[\overline{{{x}_{1}}}=2\]                                            \[\overline{{{x}_{2}}}=4\] sum of data = 10               sum of data = 20 \[4=\frac{1}{5}\](sum of squares) \[-4\] \[5=\frac{1}{5}\](sum of squares) − 16 (as variance\[=\frac{\sum{x_{i}^{2}}}{n}-{{\left( \frac{\sum{{{x}_{i}}}}{n} \right)}^{2}})\] sum of squares = 40        sum of squares = 105 \[\overline{x}=\frac{10+20}{10}=3\] new variance \[=\frac{1}{10}(145)-9=\frac{11}{2}\]
