Given that is the mean and 2 is the variance of n observations 1 , 2 , 3 , ..., . Prove that the mean and variance of the observations 1 , 2 , 3 , ..., are a and a2 2, respectively (a 0).
Given observations are 1 , 2 , 3 , ...,
and be their mean and 2 is the variance
Fro new observations,
each observation is multiplied by a
Let the new observations be 1 , 2 , 3 , ...,
where = a( )
Calculating new mean
New mean = 1
= 1
= a 1
= a
So, New Mean = a
Calculating new variance
New Variance = 1 n ( ) 2
Now,
Old Variance = 1 ( ) 2
2 = 1 ( ) 2
2 = ( ) 2
( ) 2 = 2
( 1 1 ) 2 = 2
1 2 ( ) 2 = 2
( ) 2 = 2 a2
So, New Variance = 1 ( ) 2
= 1 2 a2
= 2 a2
Hence,
New mean = a
& New variance = 2 a2
Hence proved
