If each of the observation x1,x2,..........

If each of the observation `x_1,x_2,.........,x_n`is increased by a where a is a negative or positive number, show that the variance remains unchanged.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the mean of the observation `x_1,x_2,........x_n` be `barx`
variance of these observations is given by
old variance `=(1/n) sum(x_i-barx)^2`.........(1)
if each observation is increased by `a` we get new observations,
