Mathematics Question on Variance and Standard Deviation
: The variance of first n even natural numbers is 4n2−1 : The sum of first n natural numbers is 2n(n+1) and the sum of squares of first n natural numbers is 6n(n+1)(2n+1)
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false
Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true
Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true
Solution
Statement-2 is true Sum of n even natural numbers =n(n+1) Mean (xˉ)=nn(n+1)=n+1 Variance =[n1∑(xi)2]−(xˉ)2=n1[22+42+.....+(2n)2]−(n+1)2 =n122[12+22+.....+n2]−(n+1)2=n46n(n+1)(2n+1)−(n+1)2 =3(n+1)[2(2n+1)−3(n+1)]=3(n+1)[4n+2−3n−3]=3(n+1)(n−1)=3n2−1 ? Statement 1 is false.
