MCQ
If the standard deviation of a variable $X$ is $\sigma,$ then the standard deviation of variable $\frac{\text{aX+b}}{\text{c}}$ is:
  • A
    $\text{a}\ \sigma$
  • B
    $\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}\sigma$
  • ✓
    $\Big|\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}\Big|\sigma$
  • D
    $\Big|\frac{\text{a}}{\text{d}}\Big|\sigma$
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\Big|\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}\Big|\sigma$
$\text{Y}=\frac{\text{aX+b}}{\text{c}}$
$\overline{\text{Y}}=\frac{\sum\text{y}_\text{i}}{\text{n}}=\frac{\frac{\text{a}\sum\text{X}+\text{nb}}{\text{c}}}{\text{n}}$
$=\frac{\text{a}\sum\text{X}}{\text{nc}}+\frac{\text{nb}}{\text{nc}}$
$=\frac{\text{a}\overline{\text{X}}}{\text{c}}+\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\frac{\sum\big(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{X}}\big)^2}{\text{n}}$
$=\sigma^2$
$\text{Var}(\text{Y})=\frac{\sum\big(\text{y}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{Y}}\big)^2}{\text{n}}$
$=\frac{\sum\Big(\frac{\text{aX}}{\text{c}}+\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}\overline{\text{X}}-\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}\Big)}{\text{n}}$
$=\frac{\sum\Big(\frac{\text{aX}}{\text{c}}-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}\overline{\text{X}}\Big)^2}{\text{n}}$
$=\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}\Big)^2\frac{\sum\big(\text{x}_1-\overline{\text{X}}\big)^2}{\text{n}}$
$=\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}\Big)^2\sigma^2$
$\text{SD}(\sigma)=\sqrt{\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}\Big)^2\sigma^2}$
$=\Big|\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}\Big|\sigma$
