From a sample of n observations, the arithmetic mean and variance are calculated. It is then found that one of the values, x₁, is in error and should be replaced by x₁'. Show that the adjustment to the variance to correct this error is : 1/(x₁ - x₁ ) ( x1² + x1 - 2 1 - 1 + 2T), X1' n n where T is the total of the original results.
