- B445
- C449
- D451

Correct answer: C
-
Given data (with the mistaken observation):
- Number of observations:
- Mean:
- Standard deviation:
-
Find the incorrect total sum Since we get
-
Correct the wrong observation in the sum One value was taken as instead of . So the incorrect sum is larger by .
Hence correct sum:
Therefore correct mean is
-
Use the standard deviation formula to get the incorrect sum of squares Using with the mistaken data,
So
-
Correct the sum of squares The mistaken value should be . So subtract
Hence correct sum of squares:
-
Find the correct variance and standard deviation
Now,
Thus, so
-
Compute the required value
-
Option check
- A:
- B:
- C: ✅
- D:
Therefore, the correct answer is Option C.
