QJEEM24Maf43e: JEE Main 2024 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM24Maf43e Solution: The mean and standard deviation of 15 observations were found…

The mean and standard deviation of 15 observations were found to be 12 and 3 respectively. On rechecking it was found that an observation was read as 10 in place of 12 . If μ\mu and σ2\sigma^2 denote the mean and variance of the correct observations respectively, then 15(μ+μ2+σ2)15\left(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2\right) is equal to __________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Let the incorrect mean be μ′\mu^{\prime} and standard deviation be σ′\sigma^{\prime}

We have

μ′=Σxi15=12⇒Σxi=180\mu^{\prime}=\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{15}=12 \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=180

As per given information correct Σxi=180−10+12\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=180-10+12

⇒μ( correct mean)=18215\Rightarrow \mu(\text { correct mean})=\frac{182}{15}

Also

σ′=Σxi215−144=3⇒Σxi2=2295\sigma^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{15}-144}=3 \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2295

Correct Σxi2=2295−100+144=2339\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}{ }^2=2295-100+144=2339

σ2( correct variance )=233915−182×18215×15\sigma^2(\text { correct variance })=\frac{2339}{15}-\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}

Required value

amp;=15(μ+μ2+σ2)amp;=15(18215+182×18215×15+233915−182×18215×15)amp;=15(18215+233915)amp;=2521\begin{aligned}& =15\left(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2\right) \\& =15\left(\frac{182}{15}+\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}+\frac{2339}{15}-\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}\right) \\& =15\left(\frac{182}{15}+\frac{2339}{15}\right) \\& =2521\end{aligned}
