If the range of a set of observations on a variable X is known to be 25 and if Y = 40 + 3X, then what is the range of the set of corresponding observations on Y ?

  • 25

  • 40

  • 75

  • 115


C.

75

If the range of a set of observations on a variable X is known to be 25 and if Y = 40 + 3X, then, range of y will became 3 times as there is a multiple of 3x in the expression of Y, for example

Range of x = 25 i.e, we can assume the minimum value as of x as 0 and maximum value be 25. Then

y = 40 + 3 x 0 = 40 {minimum value}

Y = 40 + 325 = 40 + 75 = 115 {maximum value}

Then, range of y = 115 – 40 = 75 = 3 x 25 = 3 times the range of x.

Option C is correct
