increased by 2, then median of new set
(a) Is decreased by 2
(b) Is increased by 2
(c) Remains the same
(d) We cannot find as there is no information for other 5 observations

4. The mean of 5 observations is 4.4 and their variance is 8.24. If three of the observations are 1, 2 and 6.
Find the other two observations.
5. The variance of 10 observations is 16 and their mean is 12. If each observation is multiplied by 4, what
are the new mean and the new variance?
6. In a series of 2n observations, half of them equal ‘a’ and remaining half equal –a. If the standard
deviation of the observations is 2, then find the value of |a|.
Short Answer Questions:
7. Consider the first 10 positive integers. If we multiply each number by –1 and then add 1 to each
number, find the variance of the numbers so obtained.
8. The mean and variance of eight observations are 9 and 9.25 respectively. If six of the observations are

9. Let x1, x2…..xn be n observations. Let wi = m xi + k for I = 1,2,3…..n and m and k are constants. If the
mean of xi’s is 48 and their standard deviation is 12 and if mean of wi’s is 55 and their standard
deviation is 15, determine value of m and k respectively.

No. of circles 15 17 21 22 25
20. There are 60 students in a class. The following is the frequency distribution of the marks obtained by
the students in a test:
Marks 0 1 2 3 4 5
2 2
Frequency x-2 X X (x+1) 2x X+1
Where x is a positive integer. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the marks.
