If both the means and the standard deviation of \(50\) observations \(x_1, x_2, ………, x_{50}\) are equal to \(16\) , then the mean of \((x_1 - 4)^2, (x_2 - 4)^2, …., (x_{50} - 4)^2\) is

  1. A \(400\)
  2. B \(380\)
  3. C \(525\)
  4. D \(480\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(400\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mean \(\left( \mu \right) = \frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{{50}} = 16\) Standard deviation \(\left( \sigma \right) = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {x_i^2} }}{{50}} - {{\left( \mu \right)}^2}} = 16\) \( \Rightarrow \left( {256} \right) \times 2 = \frac{{\sum {x_i^2} }}{{50}}\) \(\Rightarrow\) New…
