Correct answer: C

  1. Given data (with the mistaken observation):

    • Number of observations: n=100n=100n=100
    • Mean: xˉ=40\bar{x}=40xˉ=40
    • Standard deviation: 5.15.15.1
  2. Find the incorrect total sum Since xˉ=∑xin,\bar{x}=\frac{\sum x_i}{n},xˉ=n∑xi​​, we get ∑xi=100×40=4000.\sum x_i = 100\times 40 = 4000.∑xi​=100×40=4000.

  3. Correct the wrong observation in the sum One value was taken as 505050 instead of 404040. So the incorrect sum is larger by 101010.

    Hence correct sum: ∑xi(c)=4000−10=3990.\sum x_i^{(c)} = 4000 - 10 = 3990.∑xi(c)​=4000−10=3990.

    Therefore correct mean is μ=3990100=39.9.\mu = \frac{3990}{100} = 39.9.μ=1003990​=39.9.

  4. Use the standard deviation formula to get the incorrect sum of squares Using σ2=∑xi2n−xˉ2,\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum x_i^2}{n} - \bar{x}^2,σ2=n∑xi2​​−xˉ2, with the mistaken data, 5.12=∑xi2100−402.5.1^2 = \frac{\sum x_i^2}{100} - 40^2.5.12=100∑xi2​​−402.

    So 26.01=∑xi2100−1600,26.01 = \frac{\sum x_i^2}{100} - 1600,26.01=100∑xi2​​−1600, ∑xi2100=1626.01,\frac{\sum x_i^2}{100} = 1626.01,100∑xi2​​=1626.01, ∑xi2=162601.\sum x_i^2 = 162601.∑xi2​=162601.

  5. Correct the sum of squares The mistaken value 505050 should be 404040. So subtract 502−402=2500−1600=900.50^2 - 40^2 = 2500 - 1600 = 900.502−402=2500−1600=900.

    Hence correct sum of squares: ∑(xi(c))2=162601−900=161701.\sum (x_i^{(c)})^2 = 162601 - 900 = 161701.∑(xi(c)​)2=162601−900=161701.

  6. Find the correct variance and standard deviation σ2=161701100−(39.9)2.\sigma^2 = \frac{161701}{100} - (39.9)^2.σ2=100161701​−(39.9)2.

    Now, 161701100=1617.01,\frac{161701}{100} = 1617.01,100161701​=1617.01, (39.9)2=1592.01.(39.9)^2 = 1592.01.(39.9)2=1592.01.

    Thus, σ2=1617.01−1592.01=25,\sigma^2 = 1617.01 - 1592.01 = 25,σ2=1617.01−1592.01=25, so σ=5.\sigma = 5.σ=5.

  7. Compute the required value 10(μ+σ)=10(39.9+5)=10(44.9)=449.10(\mu+\sigma)=10(39.9+5)=10(44.9)=449.10(μ+σ)=10(39.9+5)=10(44.9)=449.

  8. Option check

    • A: 447447447
    • B: 445445445
    • C: 449449449 ✅
    • D: 451451451

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C.
