Let $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n$ be $n$ observations,$\bar{x}$ be their mean,and $\sigma^2$ be their variance.
Statement-$1$: The variance of $2x_1, 2x_2, \dots, 2x_n$ is $4\sigma^2$.
Statement-$2$: The mean of $2x_1, 2x_2, \dots, 2x_n$ is $4\bar{x}$.

Consider three observations $a, b,$ and $c$ such that $b = a + c$. If the standard deviation of $a + 2, b + 2, c + 2$ is $d$,then which of the following holds true?

In an experiment with $15$ observations,the results were available as $\sum X^2 = 2830$ and $\sum X = 170$. One observation that was $20$ was found to be wrong and was replaced by the correct value $30$. The corrected variance is:

For a frequency distribution,the standard deviation is computed by applying the formula:

Let $x_1, x_2, x_3, \dots, x_n$ be $n$ observations,$\bar{x}$ be their arithmetic mean,and $\sigma^2$ be their variance.
Statement $-1$: The variance of observations $2x_1, 2x_2, 2x_3, \dots, 2x_n$ is $4\sigma^2$.
Statement $-2$: The arithmetic mean of $2x_1, 2x_2, 2x_3, \dots, 2x_n$ is $4\bar{x}$.
