  1. s
  2. ks
  3. s + k
  4. $\frac{\text{s}}{\text{k}}$

Let x1, x2, ..., xn be n observations. Let yi = axi + byi + b for i = 1, 2, 3, ..., n, where a and b are constants. If the mean of xi's is 48 and their standard deviation is 12, the mean of yi's 55 and standard deviation of yi's is 15, the values of a and b are:
  1. a = 1.25, b = -5
  2. a = -1.25, b = 5
  3. a = 2.5, b = -5
  4. a = 2.5, b = 5

If x1, x2, ..., xn are n values of a variable X and y1, y2, ..., yn are n values of variable Y such that yi = axi + b, i = 1, 2, ..., n, then write Var(Y) in terms of Var(X).

If X and Y are two variates connected by the relation $\text{Y}=\frac{\text{aX+b}}{\text{c}}$ and $\text{Var}(\text{X})=\sigma^2,$ then write the expression for the standard deviation of Y.
