JEE MainMathematicsStatisticsNumerical+4 / −1
Let X={11,12,13,....,40,41}X=\{11,12,13,....,40,41\}X={11,12,13,....,40,41} and Y={61,62,63,....,90,91}Y=\{61,62,63,....,90,91\}Y={61,62,63,....,90,91} be the two sets of observations. If x‾\overline xx and y‾\overline yy​ are their respective means and σ2\sigma^2σ2 is the variance of all the observations in X∪Y\mathrm{X\cup Y}X∪Y, then ∣x‾+y‾−σ2∣\left| {\overline x + \overline y - {\sigma ^2}} \right|​x+y​−σ2​ is equal to ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 603

  1. Identify the two sets

    X={11,12,13,…,41},Y={61,62,63,…,91}X=\{11,12,13,\dots,41\}, \qquad Y=\{61,62,63,\dots,91\}X={11,12,13,…,41},Y={61,62,63,…,91}

    Each is an arithmetic progression with common difference 111.

  2. Find the means xˉ\bar xxˉ and yˉ\bar yyˉ​

    For a consecutive arithmetic sequence, mean is the average of first and last terms.

    xˉ=11+412=26\bar x=\frac{11+41}{2}=26xˉ=211+41​=26 yˉ=61+912=76\bar y=\frac{61+91}{2}=76yˉ​=261+91​=76

    Hence, xˉ+yˉ=26+76=102\bar x+\bar y=26+76=102xˉ+yˉ​=26+76=102

  3. Describe the union X∪YX\cup YX∪Y

    The combined observations are: 11,12,…,41,61,62,…,9111,12,\dots,41,61,62,\dots,9111,12,…,41,61,62,…,91

    Number of elements in each set: 41−11+1=31,91−61+1=3141-11+1=31, \qquad 91-61+1=3141−11+1=31,91−61+1=31

    So total number of observations is N=31+31=62N=31+31=62N=31+31=62

  4. Find the mean of all observations in X∪YX\cup YX∪Y

    Since both sets have equal number of observations, μ=xˉ+yˉ2=26+762=51\mu=\frac{\bar x+\bar y}{2}=\frac{26+76}{2}=51μ=2xˉ+yˉ​​=226+76​=51

  5. Compute variance of all observations

    Variance is σ2=162∑(xi−51)2\sigma^2=\frac{1}{62}\sum (x_i-51)^2σ2=621​∑(xi​−51)2

    Split into the two groups.

    For set XXX

    Write elements as 11,12,…,4111,12,\dots,4111,12,…,41. Their deviations from 515151 are: −40,−39,…,−10-40,-39,\dots,-10−40,−39,…,−10 So contribution is ∑k=1040k2\sum_{k=10}^{40} k^2∑k=1040​k2

    For set YYY

    Elements are 61,62,…,9161,62,\dots,9161,62,…,91. Their deviations from 515151 are: 10,11,…,4010,11,\dots,4010,11,…,40 So contribution is again ∑k=1040k2\sum_{k=10}^{40} k^2∑k=1040​k2

    Therefore, σ2=2∑k=1040k262=∑k=1040k231\sigma^2=\frac{2\sum_{k=10}^{40} k^2}{62}=\frac{\sum_{k=10}^{40} k^2}{31}σ2=622∑k=1040​k2​=31∑k=1040​k2​

  6. Evaluate ∑k=1040k2\sum_{k=10}^{40} k^2∑k=1040​k2

    Use ∑k=1nk2=n(n+1)(2n+1)6\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}∑k=1n​k2=6n(n+1)(2n+1)​

    Then ∑k=1040k2=∑k=140k2−∑k=19k2\sum_{k=10}^{40} k^2=\sum_{k=1}^{40}k^2-\sum_{k=1}^{9}k^2∑k=1040​k2=∑k=140​k2−∑k=19​k2

    =40⋅41⋅816−9⋅10⋅196=\frac{40\cdot 41\cdot 81}{6}-\frac{9\cdot 10\cdot 19}{6}=640⋅41⋅81​−69⋅10⋅19​

    =22140−285=21855=22140-285=21855=22140−285=21855

    Hence, σ2=2185531=705\sigma^2=\frac{21855}{31}=705σ2=3121855​=705

  7. Compute the required value

    ∣xˉ+yˉ−σ2∣=∣102−705∣=603\left|\bar x+\bar y-\sigma^2\right|=|102-705|=603​xˉ+yˉ​−σ2​=∣102−705∣=603

  8. Compare with stored answer

    Derived answer = 603603603

    Stored correct answer = 603603603

    They match.
