Question

Let $X_{1}, X_{2}, . . . X_{18}$ be eighteen observation such that $18 \sum i = 1 (X_{i} - α) = 36$ and $18 \sum i = 1 (X_{i} - β)^{2} = 90$ , where $α$ and $β$ are distinct real numbers. If the standard deviation of these observations is $1$ , then the value of $| α - β |$ is

Solution

Given, $18 \sum i = 1 (X_{i} - α) = 36$
$\Rightarrow \sum x_{i} - 18 α = 36$
$\Rightarrow \sum x_{i} = 18 (α + 2) . . . (1)$
Also, $18 \sum i = 1 (X_{i} - β)^{2} = 90$
$\Rightarrow \sum x_{i}^{2} + 18 β^{2} - 2 β \sum x_{i} = 90$
$\Rightarrow \sum x_{i}^{2} + 18 β^{2} - 2 β \times 18 (α + 2) = 90$ (using equation $(1)$ )
$\Rightarrow \sum x_{i}^{2} = 90 - 18 β^{2} + 36 β (α + 2)$
Now
$σ^{2} = 1 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{18} \sum x_{i}^{2} - {(\frac{\sum x_{i}}{18})}^{18} = 1$
( $∵ σ = 1,$ given)
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{18} (90 - 18 β^{2} + 36 α β + 72 β) - {(\frac{18 (α + 2)}{18})}^{2} = 1$
$\Rightarrow 5 - β^{2} + 2 α β + 4 β - (α + 2)^{2} = 1$
$\Rightarrow 5 - β^{2} + 2 α β + 4 β - α^{2} - 4 - 4 α = 1$
$\Rightarrow α^{2} - β^{2} + 2 α β + 4 β - 4 α = 0$
$\Rightarrow (α - β) (α - β + 4) = 0$
$\Rightarrow α - β = - 4$
Hence
$∴ | α - β | = 4, (α \neq β)$
