1. Calculate the total mean when E(x-5)=226, N=38
Mean(x-5)=226/38
=5.95
Therefore, Mean(x)=5.95+5
=11.O
2. Calculate the total variance when E(x-2)^2=200, E(x-2)=22,N=5
Variance(x-2)=(2OO/5)-(22/5)^2
=20.6
Therefore, Variance(x)=20.6
Note: In this case we do not have to add 2 like in question 1.
So, Var(x)=Var(x-a)=Var(x+a) unlike the case in mean
Also,S.D(x)=S.D(x-a)=S.D(x=a)
3. The standard deviation of the three numbers a,b,c is 3.2
a. State the standard deviation of the three numbers 3a,3b,3c.
b. State the standard deviation of the three numbers a+2,b+2,c+2
c. State the standard deviation of the three numbers 2a+5,2b+5,2c+5
Ans: a. 3.2 X 3 = 9.6 b. 3.2 c. 3.2 X 2 = 6.4
Hope, you’ve understood.
wat do u mean by S.D(x=a)?
did u mean S.D(x+a) ?
Yes, i meant S.D. (x+a)!! Sorry!!
