To solve this problem, we need to find the mean deviation about the mode for the given set of observations: \(2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 7, a, b\).
Firstly, we know that:
- The mean of the observations is 4.
- The standard deviation is \(\sqrt{2}\).
Given the mean. Let us calculate it:
\(\text{Mean} = \frac{2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 7 + a + b}{8} = 4\)
Solving for \(a + b\):
\(2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 7 + a + b = 32\)
\(24 + a + b = 32\)
\(a + b = 8\)
Next, we consider the standard deviation, which is \(\sqrt{2}\). Generally, the variance is:
\(\text{Variance } = \frac{\sum(x_i - \text{mean})^2}{8} = 2\)
Let's set up the formula for variance:
- \((2-4)^2 = 4\)
- \((3-4)^2 = 1 \text{ (twice, for 3s) }\)
- \((4-4)^2 = 0\)
- \((5-4)^2 = 1\)
- \((7-4)^2 = 9\)
- \((a-4)^2\)
- \((b-4)^2\)
Thus,
\(\frac{4 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 9 + (a-4)^2 + (b-4)^2}{8} = 2\)
Simplifying, we have:
\((\text{Sum of } (a-4)^2 + (b-4)^2) = 15\)
Using \((a-4)^2 + (b-4)^2 = 15 \) and \(a + b = 8\), solving these will help find the exact values of \(a\) and \(b\), which then simplify to:
\((a+b)^2 - 2ab = a^2 + b^2 = 22\)
\(64 - 2ab = 22 \Rightarrow ab = 21\)
The quadratic \(x^2 - 8x + 21 = 0\) gives us roots of \((a, b)\).
Thus \(a, b = 3, 5\); solving this yields the particular values that satisfy our initial mean and variance condition.
The mode of our data remains 3, as it appears most frequently.
The mean deviation about the mode (3) is computed as follows:
\(\frac{|2-3| + |3-3| + |3-3| + |4-3| + |5-3| + |7-3| + |3-3| + |5-3|}{8}\)
So,
\(\frac{1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 0 + 2}{8} = \frac{10}{8} = \frac{5}{4}\)
We realize that a mistake in the calculation occurs, and revise our initial list considering \((a, b)\) computations rectifying for the correct mean deviation:
Re-computing these modifications correctly gives the answer as:
