If the variance of the numbers \(9,15,21, \ldots .,(6 n+3)\) is P, then the variance of the first \(n\) even numbers is

  1. A 9P
  2. B 3 P
  3. C \(\frac{P}{9}\)
  4. D \(\frac{P}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{P}{9}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the given sequence be \(x_i = 6i+3\) for \(i=1, \ldots, n\). Given \(Var(x_i) = P\). \(P = Var(6i+3) = 6^2 Var(i) = 36 Var(i)\). \(Var(i) = \frac{P}{36}\). The first \(n\) even numbers are \(e_i = 2i\) for \(i=1, \ldots, n\). \(Var(e_i) = Var(2i) = 2^2 Var(i)\).…
