Transcribed Image Text:76. Let ī, and s denote the sample mean and variance
for the sample x1, ... , X, and let īp+1 and s
denote these quantities when an additional obser-
vation x41 is added to the sample.
a. Show how xp+1 can be computed from x, and
'n+1
Xn+1.
b. Show that
ns
= (n – 1)s, +-
- (xn+1 – Xn)²
n+1
so that s can be computed from x,„41, Xn,
and s?.

c. Suppose that a sample of 15 strands of drapery
yarn has resulted in a sample mean thread
elongation of 12.58 mm and a sample standard
deviation of .512 mm. A 16th strand results in
an elongation value of 11.8. What are the
values of the sample mean and sample standard
deviation for all 16 elongation observations?
