Question:medium

The variance of 25 observations is 6. If each observation is multiplied by 3, then the new variance of the resulting observations is

Show Hint

Adding or subtracting a constant does not change variance. Multiplying by \(k\) changes variance by a factor of \(k^2\).
  • 56
  • 50
  • 54
  • 36
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
Identify the given values. \[ \text{Old Variance}=6, \qquad k=3. \]

Step 2:
Apply the variance transformation formula. \[ \text{New Variance} = 3^2\times6. \] \[ = 9\times6. \] \[ = 54. \] Conclusion: \[ {54} \]
