Question 5 - 2024 (29 Jan Shift 1)

If the mean and variance of the data $65,68,58,44,48,45,60, \alpha, \beta, 60$ where $\alpha>\beta$ are 56 and 66.2 respectively, then $\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}$ is equal to

Show Answer

Answer (6344)

Solution

$\overline{\mathrm{x}}=56$

$\sigma^{2}=66.2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}+25678}{10}-(56)^{2}=66.2$

$\therefore \alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}=6344$
