Let the observations xi (1 i 10) satisfy the equations, = 10 and = 40. If and are the mean and the variance of the observations, x1 – 3, x2 – 3, ...., x10 – 3, then the ordered pair (, ) is equal to :
- A(6, 6)
- B(3, 3)
- C(3, 6)
- D(6, 3)

Correct answer: B
- Interpret the given sums
The question clearly intends and
We need the mean and variance of the observations
- Find the mean of the original observations
From we get
Hence the mean of is
Now the new observations are , so their mean is
- Find the variance
Let Then variance of is same as variance of , because subtracting a constant does not change variance.
So we first find variance of the original .
Given But note that So, Expanding,
Since mean is , and Therefore, So,
Hence variance of is
Therefore variance of is also
- Final ordered pair
Thus,
So the correct option is B.
