JEE MainMathematicsStatisticsNumerical+4 / −1
The mean and standard deviation of 15 observations were found to be 12 and 3 respectively. On rechecking it was found that an observation was read as 10 in place of 12 . If μ\muμ and σ2\sigma^2σ2 denote the mean and variance of the correct observations respectively, then 15(μ+μ2+σ2)15\left(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2\right)15(μ+μ2+σ2) is equal to ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 2521

  1. Let the originally computed mean and standard deviation for n=15n=15n=15 observations be: xˉ=12,s=3\bar{x}=12, \qquad s=3xˉ=12,s=3

  2. From the mean, ∑xi=nxˉ=15×12=180\sum x_i = n\bar{x} = 15\times 12 = 180∑xi​=nxˉ=15×12=180

  3. Using variance relation: s2=∑xi2n−xˉ2s^2 = \frac{\sum x_i^2}{n} - \bar{x}^2s2=n∑xi2​​−xˉ2 Since s=3s=3s=3, we have s2=9s^2=9s2=9. Hence, 9=∑xi215−1229 = \frac{\sum x_i^2}{15} - 12^29=15∑xi2​​−122 9=∑xi215−1449 = \frac{\sum x_i^2}{15} - 1449=15∑xi2​​−144 ∑xi215=153\frac{\sum x_i^2}{15} = 15315∑xi2​​=153 ∑xi2=15×153=2295\sum x_i^2 = 15\times 153 = 2295∑xi2​=15×153=2295

  4. One observation was taken as 101010 instead of the correct value 121212.

    Therefore, the corrected sum is: ∑yi=180−10+12=182\sum y_i = 180 - 10 + 12 = 182∑yi​=180−10+12=182 So the correct mean is: μ=18215\mu = \frac{182}{15}μ=15182​

  5. Correct the sum of squares: ∑yi2=2295−102+122=2295−100+144=2339\sum y_i^2 = 2295 - 10^2 + 12^2 = 2295 - 100 + 144 = 2339∑yi2​=2295−102+122=2295−100+144=2339

  6. For the corrected data, σ2=∑yi215−μ2\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum y_i^2}{15} - \mu^2σ2=15∑yi2​​−μ2

    Therefore, μ+μ2+σ2=μ+∑yi215\mu + \mu^2 + \sigma^2 = \mu + \frac{\sum y_i^2}{15}μ+μ2+σ2=μ+15∑yi2​​ because μ2+σ2=∑yi215\mu^2 + \sigma^2 = \frac{\sum y_i^2}{15}μ2+σ2=15∑yi2​​.

  7. Multiply by 151515: 15(μ+μ2+σ2)=15μ+∑yi215(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2)=15\mu + \sum y_i^215(μ+μ2+σ2)=15μ+∑yi2​

    Now, 15μ=18215\mu = 18215μ=182 and ∑yi2=2339\sum y_i^2 = 2339∑yi2​=2339

    Hence, 15(μ+μ2+σ2)=182+2339=252115(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2)=182+2339=252115(μ+μ2+σ2)=182+2339=2521

  8. Final answer: 2521\boxed{2521}2521​
