Let x ¯ , M and σ 2 be respectively the mean, mode and variance of n observations x 1 , x 2 , . ... , x n and d i = - x i - a , i = 1 , 2 , . ... , n , where a is any number. Statement I: Variance of d 1 , d 2 , . . . , d n is σ 2 . Statement II: Mean and mode of d 1 , d 2 , . . . . , d n are - x ¯ - a and - M - a , respectively.

Options

  1. AStatement I and Statement II are both true
  2. BStatement I and Statement II are both false
  3. CStatement I is true and Statement II is false
  4. DStatement I is false and Statement II is true

Correct answer

A. Statement I and Statement II are both true

Step-by-step solution

Mean of d 1 ,   d 2 ,   d 3 . . .   d n = ∑ i = 1 n     - x i - a   n   = - ∑ i = 1 n   x i   n +   - a   n ∑ i = 1 n 1 = - x +   - a   n n = - x → - a And, the mode of d 1 ,   d 2 ,   d 3 . . .   d n will be - M - a Also, we know that the variance σ 2 is unaffected by change of origin, hence it remains same.
