If average of 20 observations$\mathbf{x}_{1}, \mathbf{x}_{\mathbf{2}}, \ldots \ldots \mathbf{x}_{\mathbf{2 0}}$ is y, then the average of x1 – 101, x2 – 101, x3 – 101, . . . . . x20 – 101 is :is :
A. y – 20 B. y – 101 C. 20y D. 101y Answer: Option BShow Answer
Solution(By Apex Team)
$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow\Large\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+\ldots+x_{20}}{20}=y\\
\Rightarrow x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+\ldots+x_{20}=20y\\
=\Large\frac{x_1-101+x_2-101+x_3-101+x_4-101+\ldots.+x_{20}-101}{20}\\
=\Large\frac{\left(x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+\ldots+x_{20}\right)-20\times101}{20}\\
=\Large\frac{20y-20\times101}{20}\\
=y-101\end{array}$
