The variance of 20 observations is 5. If each observation is multiplied by 3, then what is the new variance of the resulting observations?
MEDIUM
If the standard deviation of the numbers -1, 0, 1, k is 5 where k>0, then k is equal to
EASY
The mean and variance of 20 observations are found to be 10 and 4, respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation 9 was incorrect and the correct observation was 11, then the correct variance is
EASY
The mean and the standard deviation S.D. of five observations are 9 and 0, respectively. If one of the observation is increased such that the mean of the new set of five observations becomes 10, then their S.D. is
MEDIUM
The mean of five observations is 5 and their variance is 9.20. If three of the given five observations are 1, 3 and 8, then a ratio of other two observations is
MEDIUM
The mean and variance for 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
EASY
In a series of observations half of them equal to a and remaining half equal to -a. If the S.D. of the observations is 2, then |a|=
EASY
If i=19xi5=9 and i=19xi52=45, then the standard deviation of the 9 items x1, x2,.,x9 is

All the students of a class performed poorly in Mathematics. The teacher decided to give grace marks of 10 to each of the students. Which of the following statistical measures will not change even after the grace marks were given ?
EASY
The standard deviation of a variable x is 10. Then the standard deviation of 50+5x is
EASY
The mean and variance of n observations x1, x2, x3,, xn are 5 and 0 respectively. If i=1nxi2=400, then the value of n is equal to
EASY
Let x1,x2,..xn be n observations such that Σxi2=400,Σxi=80. Then, the possible value of n is

Consider three observations a,b and c such that b=a+c. If the standard deviation of a+2, b+2, c+2 is d, then which of the following is true?
EASY
Let in a series of 2n observations, half of them are equal to a and remaining half are equal to -a. Also by adding a constant b in each of these observations, the mean and standard deviation of new set become 5 and 20, respectively. Then the value of a2+b2 is equal to :
EASY
A student scores the following marks in five tests: 45,54,41,57,43. His score is not known for the sixth test. If the mean score is 48 in the six tests, then the standard deviation of the marks in six tests is
MEDIUM
If the mean and standard deviation of 5 observations x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 are 10 and 3, respectively, then the variance of 6 observations x1, x2, , x5 and -50 is equal to
