Let the mean of 6 observation 1, 2, 4, 5, x and y be 5 and their variance be 10. Then their mean deviation about the mean is equal to
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)3
- (D)✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
Given mean = 5:
Given variance = 10:
Solving and :
This gives (or vice versa).
The observations are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10 with mean 5.
Mean deviation =
Given variance = 10:
Solving and :
This gives (or vice versa).
The observations are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10 with mean 5.
Mean deviation =
