Question 14 - 2020 (05 Sep Shift 1)
The mean and variance of 7 observations are 8 and 16, respectively. If five observations are 2, 4, 10, 12, 14, then the absolute difference of the remaining two observations is:
(1) 1 (2) 4 (3) 2 (4) 3
Show Answer
Answer: (3) 2
Solution
$x_1+x_2=14$, $x_1^2+x_2^2=100$, $x_1 x_2=48$. $(x_1-x_2)^2 = 4$. $|x_1-x_2| = 2$.
