Assertion (A)Variance of \(4 x_1, 4 x_2, \ldots, 4 x_n\) is 16 times the variance of \(x_1, x_2, x_3, \ldots, x_n\)Reason (R) If \(y=a x+b\), then variance of \(y\) is a (variance of \(x)+b\) The correct option among the following is

  1. A (A) is true, (R) is true and (R) is the correct explanation for (A).
  2. B (A) is true, (R) is true but \((R)\) is not the correct explanation for (A).
  3. C (A) is true but \((R)\) is false.
  4. D (A) is false but (R) is true.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A) is true but \((R)\) is false.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let variance of \(x_1, x_2, x_3, \ldots, x_n\) be \(\sigma^2\), then variance of \(4 x_1, 4 x_2, \ldots, 4 x_n\) is \(4^2 \sigma^2\) is \(16 \sigma^2\) And variance dependent on change of scale.
