    If the standard deviation of a variable X is \[\sigma ,\] then the standard deviation of variable \[\frac{aX+b}{c}\]is

    A)  \[a\sigma \]

    B)  \[\frac{a}{c}\sigma \]

    C)  \[\left| \frac{a}{c} \right|\sigma \]

    D)  \[\frac{a\sigma +b}{c}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We know that, the standard deviation does not alter when a constant quantity k is added to or subtracted from each value of the variable of the series. \[\therefore \] \[SD\left( \frac{aX+b}{c} \right)=\left| \frac{a}{c} \right|X=\left| \frac{a}{c} \right|\,\sigma (X=\sigma )\]
