Question

$Let x_{1}, x_{2}, \dots, x_{n} be n observations such that Σ x_{i}^{2} = 400 and Σ x_{i} = 80 . Then a possible value of n among the following is$

Moderate

A

9
B

12
C

15
D

18

Solution

$Since root mean square \geq arithmetic mean$
$\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i}^{2}}{n}} \geq \frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i}}{n} = \sqrt{\frac{400}{n}} \geq \frac{80}{n} \Rightarrow n \geq 16$
Hence, the possible value of n is 18.
