The standard deviations of x i i = 1 , 2 , … . 10 and y i i = 1 , … 10 are respectively a and b …

The standard deviations of xii=1,2,.10 and yii=1,10 are respectively a and bx¯, y¯ are the means of these two sets of observations respectively. If zi=xi-x¯yi-y¯ and i=110zi=c, then the standard deviation of the observations xi-yi, i=1,2,10 is
  1. a2+b2+c5
  2. a2+b2-c5
  3. a2+b2-c25
  4. a2+b2+c25

Solution

It is given that, zi=xi-x¯yi-y¯

And i=110zi=c

Rewrite the above equation.

i=110xi-x¯yi-y¯=c

 i=110xiyi-xiy¯-x¯yi+x¯·y¯=c

 i=110xiyi-i=110xiy¯-i=110x¯yi+i=110x¯·y¯=c

 i=110xiyi-10x¯·y¯-10x¯·y¯+10x¯·y¯=c

 i=110xiyi-10x¯·y¯=c

Now,

σx1-y1=110xi-yi2-x¯-y¯2

=110xi2+110yi2-15xiyi-x¯2-y¯2+2xy¯

=110xi2-x¯2+110yi2-y¯2-15xiyi-10xy¯

=a2+b2-c5
