For a group of $100$ students,the mean $\bar{x}_1$ and the standard deviation $\sigma_1$ of their marks were found to be $40$ and $15$ respectively. Later,it was observed that the scores $40$ and $50$ were misread as $30$ and $60$ respectively. If the mean and the standard deviation with the corrected observations of the scores are $\bar{x}_2$ and $\sigma_2$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $\bar{x}_1=\bar{x}_2 ; \sigma_1=\sigma_2$
  • B
    $\bar{x}_1=\bar{x}_2 ; \sigma_1 < \sigma_2$
  • C
    $\bar{x}_1=\bar{x}_2 ; \sigma_1 > \sigma_2$
  • D
    $\bar{x}_1 > \bar{x}_2 ; \sigma_1=\sigma_2$

Let $n \geq 3$. $A$ list of numbers $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. $A$ new list of numbers $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$ is made as follows: $y_1 = \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$,$y_2 = \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$ and $y_j = x_j$ for $j = 3, 4, \ldots, n$. The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$. Which of the following is necessarily true?

The mean and the standard deviation of $10$ observations are $20$ and $2$ respectively. Each of these $10$ observations is multiplied by $p$ and then reduced by $q$,where $p \neq 0$ and $q \neq 0$.
