    In an experiment with 15 observations on x the following results are available \[\Sigma {{x}^{2}}=2830,\] \[\Sigma x=170.\] One observation that was 20, was found to be wrong and was replaced by correct value 30. Find the correct variance.

    A)  \[78'\]              

    B)  \[186\]

    C)  \[158\]              

    D)  \[18\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given,  \[\Sigma {{x}^{2}}=2830,\,\,\Sigma x=170\] and \[n=15\] Now, the correct \[\Sigma x=170-20+30\] \[=180\] and correct \[\Sigma {{x}^{2}}=2830-{{(20)}^{2}}+{{(30)}^{2}}\] \[=2830-400+900\] \[=2830+500=3330\] \[\therefore \]  Correct variance \[=\frac{\Sigma {{x}^{2}}}{n}-{{\left( \frac{\Sigma x}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{3330}{15}-{{\left( \frac{180}{15} \right)}^{2}}\] \[=222-{{(12)}^{2}}=222-144\] \[=78\]
