Q27 jee_main_2024_29_jan_morning Mean and Variance
If the mean and variance of the data 65, 68, 58, 44, 48, 45, 60, alpha, beta, 60 where alpha gt beta are 56 and 66.2 respectively, then alpha^2+beta^2 is equal to
Numerical Answer. Answer: 6344 to 6344

Solution

### Related Formula textMean (barx) = fracsum x_in textVariance (sigma^2) = fracsum x_i^2n - (barx)^2 ### Core Logic We are given 10 observations: 65, 68, 58, 44, 48, 45, 60, alpha, beta, 60. Total n=10. Sum of known observations: S = 65 + 68 + 58 + 44 + 48 + 45 + 60 + 60 = 448 The mean barx = 56: frac448 + alpha + beta10 = 56 448 + alpha + beta = 560 alpha + beta = 112 ### Step 1: Use Variance Equation The variance sigma^2 = 66.2. Using the computational formula for variance: fracsum x_i^210 - (56)^2 = 66.2 Calculate the sum of squares of known observations: sum x_known^2 = 65^2 + 68^2 + 58^2 + 44^2 + 48^2 + 45^2 + 60^2 + 60^2 = 4225 + 4624 + 3364 + 1936 + 2304 + 2025 + 3600 + 3600 = 25678 Insert this into the variance equation: frac25678 + alpha^2 + beta^210 - 3136 = 66.2 ### Step 2: Solve for Squares Sum Isolate alpha^2 + beta^2: frac25678 + alpha^2 + beta^210 = 3136 + 66.2 frac25678 + alpha^2 + beta^210 = 3202.2 25678 + alpha^2 + beta^2 = 32022 alpha^2 + beta^2 = 32022 - 25678 alpha^2 + beta^2 = 6344 ### Pattern Recognition If a question asks solely for alpha^2+beta^2 given mean and variance, you do not need to solve the complex polynomial system to find the individual values of alpha and beta. The variance equation isolates alpha^2+beta^2 automatically as a single chunk. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Statistics
Q16 jee_main_2024_30_jan_morning Measures of Central Tendency
Let M denote the median of the following frequency distribution.
Class0-44-88-1212-1616-20
Frequency391086
Then 20M is equal to:
  • A. 416
  • B. 104
  • C. 52
  • D. 208

Solution

### Related Formula M = l + left( fracfracN2 - cff right) times h ### Core Logic Constructing the Cumulative Frequency (CF) table:
ClassFrequencyCumulative frequency
0-433
4-8912
8-121022
12-16830
16-20636
Total frequency N = 36. Therefore, fracN2 = 18. ### Step 1: Identifying median class Since 18 lies in the cumulative frequency interval > 12 and leq 22, the median class is 8-12. Here, l = 8 (lower limit), cf = 12 (CF of previous class), f = 10 (frequency of current class), h = 4 (class size). ### Step 2: Calculating median M = 8 + left( frac18 - 1210 right) times 4 M = 8 + frac610 times 4 M = 8 + 2.4 = 10.4 We need to find 20M: 20M = 20 times 10.4 = 208 ### Pattern Recognition Finding the cumulative frequency sequence safely identifies the median class. Plugging into the standard linear interpolation formula yields the exact median. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Statistics
Q12 jee_main_2024_31_jan_evening Mean and Variance
Let the mean and the variance of 6 observation a, b, 68, 44, 48, 60 be 55 and 194, respectively if a > b, then a + 3b is
  • A. 200
  • B. 190
  • C. 180
  • D. 210

Solution

### Related Formula textMean barx = fracsum x_in textVariance sigma^2 = fracsum (x_i - barx)^2n ### Core Logic Mean is 55: fraca + b + 68 + 44 + 48 + 606 = 55 220 + a + b = 330 implies a + b = 110 Variance is 194: frac(a-55)^2 + (b-55)^2 + (68-55)^2 + (44-55)^2 + (48-55)^2 + (60-55)^26 = 194 (a-55)^2 + (b-55)^2 + 13^2 + (-11)^2 + (-7)^2 + 5^2 = 1164 (a-55)^2 + (b-55)^2 + 169 + 121 + 49 + 25 = 1164 (a-55)^2 + (b-55)^2 = 800 Expand the squares using a+b=110: a^2 + b^2 - 110(a+b) + 2(3025) = 800 a^2 + b^2 - 110(110) + 6050 = 800 implies a^2 + b^2 = 6850 Using (a+b)^2 = 12100 implies a^2+b^2+2ab = 12100 implies 2ab = 12100 - 6850 = 5250. (a-b)^2 = a^2+b^2 - 2ab = 6850 - 5250 = 1600 implies a-b = 40 (since a>b). Solving a+b=110 and a-b=40: a = 75, quad b = 35 Finally, evaluate a + 3b: a + 3b = 75 + 3(35) = 180 ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Statistics
