Correct answer: 6344

  1. Given data

The 10 observations are: 65,68,58,44,48,45,60,α,β,6065,68,58,44,48,45,60,\alpha,\beta,6065,68,58,44,48,45,60,α,β,60

Mean =56=56=56 and variance =66.2=66.2=66.2.

We need to find: α2+β2\alpha^2+\beta^2α2+β2


  1. Use the mean

For 10 observations, 65+68+58+44+48+45+60+α+β+6010=56\frac{65+68+58+44+48+45+60+\alpha+\beta+60}{10}=561065+68+58+44+48+45+60+α+β+60​=56

So the total sum is: 10×56=56010\times 56=56010×56=560

Now sum the known terms: 65+68+58+44+48+45+60+60=44865+68+58+44+48+45+60+60=44865+68+58+44+48+45+60+60=448

Hence, α+β=560−448=112\alpha+\beta=560-448=112α+β=560−448=112


  1. Use the variance

Variance of a data set is σ2=∑xi2n−xˉ2\sigma^2=\frac{\sum x_i^2}{n}-\bar{x}^2σ2=n∑xi2​​−xˉ2

Given: σ2=66.2,xˉ=56,n=10\sigma^2=66.2,\quad \bar{x}=56,\quad n=10σ2=66.2,xˉ=56,n=10

Thus, 66.2=∑xi210−56266.2=\frac{\sum x_i^2}{10}-56^266.2=10∑xi2​​−562

Since 562=3136,56^2=3136,562=3136, we get ∑xi210=66.2+3136=3202.2\frac{\sum x_i^2}{10}=66.2+3136=3202.210∑xi2​​=66.2+3136=3202.2

Therefore, ∑xi2=32022\sum x_i^2=32022∑xi2​=32022


  1. Compute sum of squares of known terms

652=422565^2=4225652=4225 682=462468^2=4624682=4624 582=336458^2=3364582=3364 442=193644^2=1936442=1936 482=230448^2=2304482=2304 452=202545^2=2025452=2025 602=360060^2=3600602=3600 Another 602=360060^2=3600602=3600

So, 4225+4624+3364+1936+2304+2025+3600+3600=256784225+4624+3364+1936+2304+2025+3600+3600=256784225+4624+3364+1936+2304+2025+3600+3600=25678

Hence, α2+β2=32022−25678=6344\alpha^2+\beta^2=32022-25678=6344α2+β2=32022−25678=6344


  1. Final answer

6344\boxed{6344}6344​

Since this matches the stored correct answer, the stored answer is correct.
