Let x¯M and σ2 be respectively the mean, mode and variance of n observations x1, x2,...., xn and di=-xi-a, i=1, 2,...., n, where a is any number.

Statement I: Variance of d1, d2,..., dn is σ 2 .

Statement II: Mean and mode of d1, d2,...., dn are -x¯-a and -M-a, respectively.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Mean of d1, d2, d3... dn

=i=1n  -xi-a n 

=-i=1n xi n+ -a ni=1n1

=-x+ -a nn

=-x-a

And, the mode of d1, d2, d3... dn will be -M-a

Also, we know that the variance σ2 is unaffected by change of origin, hence it remains same.
