Question

If the mean and the variance of the numbers a , b , 8, 5 and 10 are 6 and 6 . 8 respectively, then the value of a 3 + b 3 is equal to, 58, 61, 91, 89

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Mean = 6 = a + b + 8 + 5 + 10 5 ⇒ a + b = 7 Variance = 6 . 8 = a 2 + b 2 + 64 + 25 + 100 5 - 36 ⇒ a 2 + b 2 = 2 5 2 a b = a + b 2 - a 2 + b 2 ⇒ a b = 1 2 Now, a 3 + b 3 = a + b 3 - 3 a b a + b = 343 - 3 × 12 × 7 = 9 1
