Mean and variance of 10 positive observations is 7 and 8. If we add 5 to each number then sum of mean
and variance of new data is
and variance of new data is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
20
Option B (20) is correct because adding a constant to each observation increases the mean by that constant, while the variance remains unchanged. Therefore, the sum of the new mean and variance is 7 + 5 + 8 = 20.
