$\begin{aligned}
& \text { Mean }(\overline{\mathrm{x}})=10 \
& \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}{\mathrm{i}}}{20}=10 \
& \Sigma \mathrm{x}{\mathrm{i}}=10 \times 20=200
\end{aligned}$
If 8 is replaced by 12, then Σxi=200−8+12=204 ∴ Correct mean (x)=20Σxi =20204=10.2 ∵ Standard deviation =2 ∴ Variance =( S.D. )2=22=4 ⇒20Σxi2−(20Σxi)2=4 ⇒20Σxi2−(10)2=4 ⇒20Σxi2=104 ⇒Σxi2=2080
Now, replaced ' 8 ' observations by ' 12 ' Then, Σxi2=2080−82+122=2160 ∴ Variance of removing observations $\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{20}-\left(\frac{\Sigma x_i}{20}\right)^2 \
& \Rightarrow \frac{2160}{20}-(10.2)^2 \
& \Rightarrow 108-104.04 \
& \Rightarrow 3.96
\end{aligned}$
Correct standard deviation =3.96
