The median of a set of 9 distinct observations is 20.5. If each of the largest 4 observations of
the set is increased by 2, then the median of the new set

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\bar X,

then the mean of the observations

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

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
