Q73.Let the mean and standard deviation of marks of class A of 100 students be respectively 40 and α(> 0), and the mean and standard deviation of marks of class B of n students be respectively 55 and 30 −α. If the mean and variance of the marks of the combined class of 100 + n students are respectively 50 and 350 , then the sum of variances of classes A and B is (1) 500 (2) 450 (3) 650 (4) 900

What This Question Tests

This question tests the understanding of formulas for mean and variance of combined data sets, requiring careful substitution and algebraic manipulation to solve for unknown parameters and then calculate the sum of variances.

Concepts Tested

Mean of combined dataVariance of combined dataStandard deviation

Formulas Used

Mean_combined = (n1*mean1 + n2*mean2) / (n1+n2)

Variance_combined = (n1*var1 + n2*var2 + n1*d1^2 + n2*d2^2) / (n1+n2)

9.6 A prism is made of glass of unknown refractive index. A parallel beam of light is incident on a face of the prism. The angle of minimum deviation is measured to be 40°. What is the refractive index of the material of the prism? The refracting angle of the prism is 60°. If the prism is placed in water (refractive index 1.33), predict the new angle of minimum deviation of a parallel beam of light.
