Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(251600\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(n = 100\), \(\bar{x} = 50\), and \(\sigma = 4\).

The formula for variance is \(\sigma^2 = \dfrac{\sum x_i^2}{n} - (\bar{x})^2\).

Substituting the given values:

\(4^2 = \dfrac{\sum x_i^2}{100} - (50)^2\)

\(16 = \dfrac{\sum x_i^2}{100} - 2500\)

\(\dfrac{\sum x_i^2}{100} = 2516\)

\(\sum x_i^2 = 251600\)

Answer: \(251600\)
