Correct answer: 2521
-
Let the originally computed mean and standard deviation for observations be:
-
From the mean,
-
Using variance relation: Since , we have . Hence,
-
One observation was taken as instead of the correct value .
Therefore, the corrected sum is: So the correct mean is:
-
Correct the sum of squares:
-
For the corrected data,
Therefore, because .
-
Multiply by :
Now, and
Hence,
-
