JEE MainMathematicsStatisticsMCQ+4 / −1
The sum of 100 observations and the sum of their squares are 400 and 2475, respectively. Later on, three observations, 3, 4 and 5, were found to be incorrect. If the incorrect observations are omitted, then the variance of the remaining observations is :

Correct answer: D

  1. Given data for 100 observations

    ∑x=400,∑x2=2475,n=100\sum x = 400, \qquad \sum x^2 = 2475, \qquad n=100∑x=400,∑x2=2475,n=100

  2. Incorrect observations to be omitted

    The incorrect observations are 3,4,53,4,53,4,5.

    Their sum is: 3+4+5=123+4+5=123+4+5=12

    Their squares sum is: 32+42+52=9+16+25=503^2+4^2+5^2 = 9+16+25=5032+42+52=9+16+25=50

  3. Corrected totals after omitting these 3 observations

    Remaining number of observations: n′=100−3=97n'=100-3=97n′=100−3=97

    Corrected sum: ∑x′=400−12=388\sum x' = 400-12=388∑x′=400−12=388

    Corrected sum of squares: ∑x′2=2475−50=2425\sum {x'}^2 = 2475-50=2425∑x′2=2475−50=2425

  4. Formula for variance

    Variance of the remaining observations is σ2=∑x′2n′−(∑x′n′)2\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum {x'}^2}{n'} - \left(\frac{\sum x'}{n'}\right)^2σ2=n′∑x′2​−(n′∑x′​)2

    Substitute the values: σ2=242597−(38897)2\sigma^2 = \frac{2425}{97} - \left(\frac{388}{97}\right)^2σ2=972425​−(97388​)2

  5. Simplify

    First, 242597=25\frac{2425}{97}=25972425​=25 since 97×25=242597\times 25=242597×25=2425.

    Also, 38897=4\frac{388}{97}=497388​=4 since 97×4=38897\times 4=38897×4=388.

    Therefore, σ2=25−42=25−16=9\sigma^2 = 25 - 4^2 = 25-16=9σ2=25−42=25−16=9

  6. Final answer

    9\boxed{9}9​

    Hence, the correct option is D.
