Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let the observations be $x_{i} = a_{i}$ for $i = 1, 2, \ldots, n$. The standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by $\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^2}$.Let the new observations be $y_{i} = \lambda a_{i} = \lambda x_{i}$.The mean of the new observations is $\bar{y} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \lambda x_{i} = \lambda \left( \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i} \right) = \lambda \bar{x}$.The standard deviation of the new observations $\sigma_{y}$ is:$\sigma_{y} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (y_{i} - \bar{y})^2}$$= \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (\lambda x_{i} - \lambda \bar{x})^2}$$= \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \lambda^2 (x_{i} - \bar{x})^2}$$= \sqrt{\lambda^2 \cdot \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x})^2}$$= \sqrt{\lambda^2} \cdot \sigma$$= |\lambda| \sigma$.

Variate $(x)$	$x_{1}$	$x_{2}$	$x_{3} \ldots x_{15}$
Frequency $(f)$	$f_{1}$	$f_{2}$	$f_{3} \ldots f_{15}$

\text{Parameter}	\text{Plant } $A$ \text{ and } $B$ \text{ Data}
\text{No. of workers}	$A: 500, B: 6000$
\text{Average monthly wages}	$A: Rs. 2500, B: Rs. 2500$
\text{Variance of distribution of wages}	$A: 81, B: 100$

The standard deviation of $n$ observations $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots, a_{n}$ is $\sigma$. Then, the standard deviation of the observations $\lambda a_{1}, \lambda a_{2}, \ldots, \lambda a_{n}$ is
