Let $y_1, y_2, y_3, \dots, y_n$ be $n$ observations. Let $w_i = l y_i + k$ for all $i = 1, 2, 3, \dots, n$,where $l$ and $k$ are constants. If the mean of $y_i$ is $48$ and their standard deviation is $12$,and the mean of $w_i$ is $55$ and their standard deviation is $15$,then the values of $l$ and $k$ are:

  • A
    $l = 2.5, k = 5$
  • B
    $l = 1.25, k = 5$
  • C
    $l = 1.25, k = -5$
  • D
    $l = 2.5, k = -5$

The mean and standard deviation of $100$ observations were calculated as $40$ and $5.1$ respectively. Later on,it was found that one of the observations was taken as $50$ in place of $40$. If the wrong entry is replaced by the correct one,then the sum of the squares of all the observations is:

Let $n \geq 3$. $A$ list of numbers $0 < x_1 < x_2 < \ldots < x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. $A$ new list of numbers is formed as follows: $y_1=0, y_2=x_2, \ldots, y_{n-1}=x_{n-1}, y_n=x_1+x_n$. The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$. Which of the following is necessarily true?
