Question:

Let $x_1 , x_2,...., x_n$ be n observations, and let $\bar{x}$ be their arithmetic mean and $\sigma^2$ be the variance. Variance of $2x_1, 2x_2, ..., 2x_n$ is $4 \sigma^2$. Arithmetic mean $2x_1, 2x_2, ..., 2x_n $ is 4 $\bar{x}$ .

  • Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true
  • Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true; statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
  • Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true; statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1
  • Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is false

The Correct Option is D

Approach Solution - 1

If each observation is multiplied by k, mean gets multiplied by k and variance gets multiplied by $k^2$. Hence the new mean should be $2 \bar{x}$ and new variance should be $k^2 \sigma^2$. So statement-1 is true and statement-2 is false.

Approach Solution -2

\(\sigma^2=\sum\frac{x_i^2}{n}-(\sum\frac{x_i}{n})^2\)
and variance of \(2x_1.......2x_n\)
\(\sum\frac{(2x_i)^2}{n}-(\sum\frac{(2x_i)}{n})^2=4\sigma^2\)
\(\therefore\) Statement 1: variance of \(2x_1,2x_2.......2x_n\) is 
\(4\sigma^2 \space{is} \space true\)
\(Then\space A.M\space of 2x_1......2x_n\)
\(=\frac{2x_1+2x_2+......+2x_n}{n}\)
\(=2\bar{x}\)
\(\therefore\space statement\space 2\space is \space false\)
Sum

Concepts Used:

Sets

Set is the collection of well defined objects. Sets are represented by capital letters, eg. A={}. Sets are composed of elements which could be numbers, letters, shapes, etc.

Example of set: Set of vowels A={a,e,i,o,u}

Representation of Sets

There are three basic notation or representation of sets are as follows:

Statement Form: The statement representation describes a statement to show what are the elements of a set.

  • For example, Set A is the list of the first five odd numbers.

Roster Form: The form in which elements are listed in set. Elements in the set is seperatrd by comma and enclosed within the curly braces.

  • For example represent the set of vowels in roster form.

A={a,e,i,o,u}

Set Builder Form: 

  1. The set builder representation has a certain rule or a statement that specifically describes the common feature of all the elements of a set.
  2. The set builder form uses a vertical bar in its representation, with a text describing the character of the elements of the set.
  3. For example, A = { k | k is an even number, k ≤ 20}. The statement says, all the elements of set A are even numbers that are less than or equal to 20.
  4. Sometimes a ":" is used in the place of the "|".
