If the s.d. of

n

observations

x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n

is 4 and another set of

n

observations

y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n

is 3, the s.d. of

n

observations

x_1-y_1, x_2-y_2, \ldots, x_n-y_n

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

None of these

Option D (None of these) is correct because the standard deviation of the difference of two sets of observations depends on the covariance between the two sets, which is not given.

If the mean of a set of observations

{x_1},{x_2}, \ldots ,{x_n}

\bar X,

then the mean of the observations

{x_i} + 2\;i;i = 1,\;2, \ldots ,n

is The sum of 10 items is 12 and sum of their squares is 18 , then standard deviation will be In a family, there are 8 men, 7 women and 5 children whose mean ages separately are respectively 24,20 and 6 years. The mean age of the family is The mean and variance of seven observations are 8 and 16, respectively. If 5 of the observations are 2, 4, 10, 12, 14, then the product of the remaining two observations is

1,3,5, x, y

are 5 observations. Mean of these observations is 5 and variance is 8. Sum of the cubes of the two missing number equals: If s.d. of a set of observations is 8 and if each observation is divided by

-2,

the s.d. of the new set of observations will be
