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

    A) 78.00

    B) \[188.66\]

    C) \[177.33\]

    D) \[8.33\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Given \[\Sigma x=170,\Sigma {{x}^{2}}=2830\] Increase in \[\Sigma x=10,\] then \[\Sigma x'=170+10=180\] Increase in \[\Sigma {{x}^{2}}=900-400=500,\] then \[\Sigma x{{'}^{2}}=2830+500=3330\] \[\therefore \] Variance \[=\frac{1}{n}\Sigma x{{'}^{2}}-{{\left( \frac{\Sigma x'}{n} \right)}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{3330}{15}-{{\left( \frac{180}{15} \right)}^{2}}=222-144=78.\]
