Question

If the standard deviation of $2 x_{i} + 3$ is 8, then the variance of $\frac{3 x_{i}}{2} .$

Open in App

Solution

$S D (2 x_{i}) + 3 = 8$
SD of $(2 x_{i}) = 8$ [SD does not alter when term is decreased by fixed constant]
SD of $x_{i} = 4$
$V a r (x_{i}) = S D^{2} = 16$
$V a r (\frac{3 x_{i}}{2} = (\frac{9}{4}) V a r (x_{i})$
$= (\frac{9}{4}) 16 = 36$
