The mean of the numbers a, b, 8, 5, 10 is 6 and the variance is 6.80. Then, find the values of a and b?
Solution : According to given condition, 6.80 = \((6-a)^2 + (6-b)^2 + (6-8)^2 + (6-5)^2 + (6-10)^2\over 5\) \(\implies\) 34 = \((6-a)^2 + (6-b)^2\) + 4 + 1 + 16 \(\implies\) \((6-a)^2 + (6-b)^2\) = 13 \(\implies\) \((6-a)^2 + (6-b)^2\) = 13 = \(3^2\) + \(2^2\) \(\implies\) a = 3 and b = 4 Similar […]
