(i) If wrong item is omitted
(ii) if it is replaced by 12.

उत्तर
\[n = 20 \]
\[\text{ Mean } = \bar{X} \]
\[SD = \sigma = 2 \]
\[ \frac{1}{n} \sum x_i =_{} \bar{X} \]
\[ \therefore \frac{1}{20} \sum x_i = 10_{} \]
\[ \Rightarrow \sum x_i = 200 \left[ {\text{ This is incorrect due to misread values } .} \right] . . . (1)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \text{ Variance } = \sigma^2 = 4\]
\[{\frac{1}{n}} \sum_{} {x_i}^2 - \left( {\bar{X}} \right) {}^2 = 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow {\frac{1}{20}} \sum_{} {x_i}^2 - {10}^2 = 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow{\frac{1}{20}} \sum_{} {x_i}^2 = 104\]
\[ \Rightarrow \sum_{} {x_i}^2 = 104 \times 20 = 2080 \left[ {\text{ This is incorrect due to misread values } .} \right] . . . (2)\]
(i) If observation 8 is omitted, then total 19 observations are left.
Incorrected \[\sum_{} x_i = 200\]
\[\text{ Corrected } \sum_{} x_i + 8 = 200\]
\[\text{ Corrected } \sum^{}_{} x_i = 192\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( {\text{ Corrected mean } } \right) = {\frac{\text{ Corrected } \sum^{}_{} x_i}{19}}\]
\[ = {\frac{192}{19}}\]
\[ = 10 . 10\]
\[\text{ Using equation (2), we get: } \]
\[\text{ Corrected } \sum^{}_{} {x_i}^2 + 8^2 = 2080\]
\[ \Rightarrow \text{ Corrected } \sum^{}_{} {x_i}^2 = 2080 - 64 \]
\[ = 2016\]
\[ \therefore{\frac{1}{19}}\text{ Corrected} \sum^{}_{} {x_i}^2 - \left({\text{ Corrected mean} } \right)^2 = \text{ Corrected variance } \]
\[ \Rightarrow \text{ Corrected variance } = {\frac{1}{19}} \times 2016 - \left({\frac{192}{19}} \right)^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow\text{ Corrected variance} = {\frac{\left( 2016 \times 19 \right) - \left( 192 \right)^2}{{19}^2}} \]
\[ \Rightarrow \text{ Corrected variance } ={\frac{38304 - 36864}{{19}^2}} \]
\[ \Rightarrow \text{ Corrected variance } ={\frac{1440}{{19}^2}} \]
\[\text{ Corrected SD } = \sqrt{{\text{ Corrected variance} }} \]
\[ = \sqrt{{\frac{1440}{{19}^2}}} \]
\[ = {\frac{12\sqrt{10}}{19}}\]
\[ = 1 . 997\]
Thus, if 8 is omitted, then the mean is 10.10 and SD is 1.997.
(ii) When incorrect observation 8 is replaced by 12:
\[\text{ From equation } (1): \]
\[\text{ Incorrected } \sum^{}_{} x_i = 200\]
\[\text{ Corrected } \sum^{}_{} x_i = 200 - 8 + 12 = 204\]
\[ \text{ Corrected } \bar{X} = \frac{204}{20} = 10 . 2\]
\[\text{ Incorrected} \sum^{}_{} {x_i}^2 = 2080 \left[ {\text{ from }(2)} \right]\]
\[\text{ Corrected } \sum^{}_{} {x_i}^2 = 2080 - 8^2 + {12}^2 \]
\[ = 2160\]
\[\text{ Corrected variance } = {\frac{1}{20}} \times \text{ Corrected } \sum^{}_{} {x_i}^2 - \left( {\text{ Corrected } \bar{X}} \right)^2 \]
\[ ={\frac{1}{20}} \times 2160 - \left( {\frac{204}{20}} \right)^2 \]
\[ = {\frac{\left( 2160 \times 20 \right) - \left( 204 \right)^2}{{20}^2}}\]
\[ = {\frac{43200 - 41616}{400}}\]
\[ = {\frac{1584}{400}}\]
\[ \text{ Corrected SD } = \sqrt{{\text{ Corrected variance} }}\]
\[ = \sqrt{{\frac{1584}{400}}} \]
\[ = {\frac{\sqrt{396}}{10}}\]
\[ = {\frac{19 . 899}{10}}\]
\[ = 1 . 9899\]
If 8 is replaced by 12, then the mean is 10.2 and SD is 1.9899.
