Let X be a random variable and Y = 2X + 1. What is the variance of Y if variance of X is 5?

उत्तर
Var(X) = 5
Var(Y) = var(2x + 1) .......{∴ v(ax + b) = a2v(x)}
= (2)2var(X)
= 4(5)
Var() = 20

Four buses carrying 160 students from the same school arrive at a football stadium. The buses carry, respectively, 42, 36, 34, and 48 students. One of the students is randomly selected. Let X denote the number of students that were on the bus carrying the randomly selected student. One of the 4 bus drivers is also randomly selected. Let Y denote the number of students on that bus. Then E(X) and E(Y) respectively are
