Misc 5
The mean and standard deviation of 20 observations are found to be 10 and 2, respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation 8 was incorrect. Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation in each of the following cases:
(i) If wrong item is omitted.
Given that number of observations (n) = 20
Incorrect mean ( 𝑥) = 10,
Incorrect standard deviation (σ) = 2
We know that 𝑥 = 1𝑛
10 = 120
10 × 20 =
200 =
= 200
∴ Incorrect sum of observations = 200
Finding correct sum of observations ,
incorrect observation 8 is removed
So, Correct sum of observations = Incorrect sum – 8
= 200 – 8
= 192
Hence, Correct mean = Correct sum of observationsNumber of observations
= 19220 − 𝟏
= 192𝟏𝟗
= 10.1
Now,
Incorrect Standard deviation (σ)
= 1N N ×(𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 ) – 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2
2 = 120 20(𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 ) – 𝑰𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕 xi2
2 × 20 = 20(𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 ) – 𝟐𝟎𝟎2
40 = 20(𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 ) – 2002
Squaring both sides
(40)2 = 20(𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 )– 20022
1600 = 20(𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 ) – 2002
1600 = 20(𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 ) – 40000
1600 + 40000 = 20(𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 )
41600 = 20(𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 )
20(𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 ) = 41600
𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 = 120 × 41600
𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 = 2080
Since 8 is removed
So, (𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 ) = 2080 – (8)2
= 2080 – 64
= 2016
Now,
Correct Standard deviation (σ)
= 1N N ×(𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 )– 𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2
= 1𝟏𝟗 𝟏𝟗 2016 − 1922
= 119 38304−36864
= 119 1440
= 119 144 ×10
= 119 144 × 10
= 119 122 × 10
= 119 × 12 × 𝟏𝟎
= 119 × 12 × 3.162
= 1.99
Hence, correct Standard deviation = 1.99

The mean and standard deviation of 20 observations are found to be 10 and 2, respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation 8 was incorrect. Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation in each of the following cases:
(ii) If it is replaced by 12.
From part (i),
Incorrect sum of observations = 200
Finding correct sum of observations ,
incorrect observation 8 is removed & 12 is added
So, Correct sum of observations = Incorrect sum – 8 + 12
= 200 – 8 + 12
= 204
Hence, Correct mean = Correct sum of observationsNumber of observations
= 20420
= 10.2
Finding correct Standard deviation
From last part
𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 = 2080
Since 8 is removed & 12 is added
So, (𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 ) = 2080 – (8)2 + (12)2
= 2080 – 64 + 144
= 2160
Now,
Correct Standard deviation (σ)
= 1N N ×(𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2 )– 𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 xi2
= 120 20 2160 − 2042
= 120 43200 −41616
= 120 1584
= 120 × 39.799
= 1.98
Hence, Correct Standard deviation = 1.98
