Solution

The correct option is C λ=3
Given 10i=1(xi5)=10
Mean of the observations (xi5)=1010=1
Hence mean of the observations (xi3)=(old mean)+2

μ=1+2=3

Variance is unchanged, if a constant is added or subtracted from each observation
λ=Var(xi3)=Var(xi5)
=10i=1(xi5)210⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜10i=1(xi5)10⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟2
=4010(1010)2
=3
