Suppose values taken by a variable $x$ are such that $a \le x_i \le b$,where $x_i$ denotes the value of $x$ in the $i^{th}$ case for $i = 1, 2, ..., n$. Then:

  • A
    $a \le \text{Var}(x) \le b$
  • B
    $a^2 \le \text{Var}(x) \le b^2$
  • C
    $\frac{a^2}{4} \le \text{Var}(x)$
  • D
    $(b - a)^2 \ge \text{Var}(x)$

Let $x_{i} (1 \leq i \leq 10)$ be ten observations of a random variable $X$. If $\sum_{i=1}^{10} (x_{i} - p) = 3$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{10} (x_{i} - p)^{2} = 9$,where $0 \neq p \in R$,then the standard deviation of these observations is:

Let $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{10}$ be ten observations such that $\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-2)=30$,$\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\beta)^2=98$,$\beta > 2$ and their variance is $\frac{4}{5}$.
