The variance of 50 observations is 7 . Suppose that each observation in this data is multiplied by 6 and then 5 is subtracted from it. Then the variance of that new data is

  1. A \(37\)
  2. B \(42\)
  3. C \(247\)
  4. D \(252\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(252\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n=50\) \(\begin{aligned} & \sigma^2(x)=7 \\ & \because \sigma^2(a x+b)=a^2 \cdot \sigma^2(x) \\ & \sigma^2(6 x-5)=6^2 \cdot \sigma^2(x)=36 \times 7=252\end{aligned}\)
