Let X={11,12,13,....,40,41}X=\{11,12,13,....,40,41\} and Y={61,62,63,....,90,91}Y=\{61,62,63,....,90,91\} be the two sets of observations. If x‾\overline x and y‾\overline y are their respective means and σ2\sigma^2 is the variance of all the observations in X∪Y\mathrm{X\cup Y} , then ∣x‾+y‾−σ2∣\left| {\overline x + \overline y - {\sigma ^2}} \right| is equal to ____________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

x={11,12,13 ....,40,41}x = \{ 11,12,13\,....,40,41\}

y={61,62,63 ....,90,91}y = \{ 61,62,63\,....,90,91\}

x‾=312(11+41)31=12×52=26\overline x = {{{{31} \over 2}(11 + 41)} \over {31}} = {1 \over 2} \times 52 = 26

y‾=312(61+91)31=12×152=76\overline y = {{{{31} \over 2}(61 + 91)} \over {31}} = {1 \over 2} \times 152 = 76

σ2=∑xi2+∑yi262−(∑x+∑y62)2{\sigma ^2} = {{\sum {x_i^2 + \sum {y_i^2} } } \over {62}} - {\left( {{{\sum {x + \sum y } } \over {62}}} \right)^2}

=705= 705

Now,

∣x‾+y‾−σ2∣\left| {\overline x + \overline y - {\sigma ^2}} \right|

=∣26+76−705∣=603= |26 + 76 - 705| = 603
