Correct answer: A

  1. Find the mean of the original observations

Given ∑i=110(xi−2)=30\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-2)=30∑i=110​(xi​−2)=30 So, ∑i=110xi−20=30\sum_{i=1}^{10}x_i - 20 = 30∑i=110​xi​−20=30 ∑i=110xi=50\sum_{i=1}^{10}x_i = 50∑i=110​xi​=50 Hence the mean is xˉ=μx=5010=5\bar x = \mu_x = \frac{50}{10}=5xˉ=μx​=1050​=5

  1. Use the given variance of the original observations

The variance of x1,x2,…,x10x_1,x_2,\dots,x_{10}x1​,x2​,…,x10​ is 110∑i=110(xi−μx)2=45\frac{1}{10}\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\mu_x)^2 = \frac{4}{5}101​∑i=110​(xi​−μx​)2=54​ Therefore, ∑i=110(xi−5)2=10⋅45=8\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-5)^2 = 10\cdot \frac45 = 8∑i=110​(xi​−5)2=10⋅54​=8

  1. Use the identity for sum of squares about another point

We are given ∑i=110(xi−β)2=98\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\beta)^2 = 98∑i=110​(xi​−β)2=98 Using ∑i=1n(xi−a)2=∑i=1n(xi−xˉ)2+n(xˉ−a)2\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i-a)^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i-\bar x)^2 + n(\bar x-a)^2∑i=1n​(xi​−a)2=∑i=1n​(xi​−xˉ)2+n(xˉ−a)2 we get 98=8+10(5−β)298 = 8 + 10(5-\beta)^298=8+10(5−β)2 So, 10(5−β)2=9010(5-\beta)^2 = 9010(5−β)2=90 (5−β)2=9 (5-\beta)^2 = 9(5−β)2=9 Thus, β=2 or 8\beta = 2 \text{ or } 8β=2 or 8 But given β>2\beta>2β>2, hence β=8\beta=8β=8

  1. Form the new observations and find their mean

The new observations are yi=2(xi−1)+4β=2xi−2+4βy_i = 2(x_i-1)+4\beta = 2x_i-2+4\betayi​=2(xi​−1)+4β=2xi​−2+4β Since β=8\beta=8β=8, yi=2xi−2+32=2xi+30y_i = 2x_i-2+32 = 2x_i+30yi​=2xi​−2+32=2xi​+30 For a linear transformation y=ax+by=ax+by=ax+b, the mean becomes μ=aμx+b\mu = a\mu_x+bμ=aμx​+b Hence, μ=2⋅5+30=40\mu = 2\cdot 5 + 30 = 40μ=2⋅5+30=40

  1. Find the variance of the new observations

For y=ax+by=ax+by=ax+b, variance becomes σ2=a2⋅Var(x)\sigma^2 = a^2\cdot \text{Var}(x)σ2=a2⋅Var(x) So, σ2=22⋅45=4⋅45=165\sigma^2 = 2^2\cdot \frac45 = 4\cdot \frac45 = \frac{16}{5}σ2=22⋅54​=4⋅54​=516​

  1. Compute the required value

We need βμσ2\frac{\beta\mu}{\sigma^2}σ2βμ​ Substitute β=8\beta=8β=8, μ=40\mu=40μ=40, σ2=165\sigma^2=\frac{16}{5}σ2=516​: βμσ2=8⋅4016/5=320⋅516=20⋅5=100\frac{\beta\mu}{\sigma^2} = \frac{8\cdot 40}{16/5} = 320\cdot \frac{5}{16} = 20\cdot 5 = 100σ2βμ​=16/58⋅40​=320⋅165​=20⋅5=100

So the correct option is 100\boxed{100}100​ which is Option A.
