Let xˉ,M\bar{x}, M and σ2\sigma^2 be respectively the mean, mode and variance of nn observations x1,x2,…,xn\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{x}_2, \ldots, \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}} and di=−xi−a\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{i}}=-\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{a}, i=1,2,…,n\mathrm{i}=1,2, \ldots, \mathrm{n}, where a\mathrm{a} is any number.

Statement I: Variance of d1,d2,…dnd_1, d_2, \ldots d_n is σ2\sigma^2.

Statement II: Mean and mode of d1, d2,…dn\mathrm{d}_1, \mathrm{~d}_2, \ldots \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{n}} are −x‾−a-\overline{\mathrm{x}}-\mathrm{a} and −M−a-\mathrm{M}-\mathrm{a}, respectively.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement I and Statement II are both true
Option B (Statement I and Statement II are both true) is correct. Shifting the data by a constant affects the mean and mode but not the variance.
