- B90
- C120
- D110
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Find the mean of the original observations
Given So, Hence the mean is
- Use the given variance of the original observations
The variance of is Therefore,
- Use the identity for sum of squares about another point
We are given Using we get So, Thus, But given , hence
- Form the new observations and find their mean
The new observations are Since , For a linear transformation , the mean becomes Hence,
- Find the variance of the new observations
For , variance becomes So,
- Compute the required value
We need Substitute , , :
So the correct option is which is Option A.
