Correct answer: D
-
Identify the data set
The first even natural numbers are
-
Formula for variance
Variance of observations is
-
Use Statement-2 formulas
For the numbers ,
Also, \sum_{i=1}^n (2i)^2=4\sum_{i=1}^n i^2=4\cdot \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}=rac{2n(n+1)(2n+1)}{3}.
-
Compute the mean
-
Compute the variance
-
Check Statement-1
Statement-1 claims variance is
But we obtained
Hence, Statement-1 is false.
-
Check Statement-2
The standard formulas are correct.
Hence, Statement-2 is true.
-
Choose the correct option
- Statement-1: False
- Statement-2: True
Therefore, the correct option is
