Q12 of 37 Page 297

If the variance of 14, 18, 22, 26, 30 is 32, then the variance of 28, 36,44,52,60 is

Two data sets are given.


Set A : 14, 18, 22, 26, 30 with V = 32


Set B : 28, 36, 44, 52, 60 with V = ?


We notice that each data entry in set B is twice the corresponding data entry in set A.


SD of set B = 2 × SD of set A.


We know that Variance = SD2


Variance of Set B = 22 × Variance of Set A.


= 4 × 32 = 128.


So the correct option is B.
