    Let X be a random variable with its expectation \[E(X)=3\]and its variance \[V(X)=2\]. If V is another random variable defined by \[Y=10X,\]then the ordered pair \[(E(Y),\,V(Y))\] is equal to

    A)  \[(10,\,200)\]  

    B)  \[(30,\,20)\]

    C)  \[(10,\,20)\]            

    D)  \[(30,\,200)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[E(X)=3,\,\,\,V(X)=2\] We know that, if \[y=aX+b,\] then \[E(y)=E(aX+b)=a\,\,E(X)+b\] and \[V(y)={{a}^{2}}\,V(X)+b\] Here, we have \[y=10\,X\] \[\therefore \] \[E(y)=E(10X)=10E(X)\] \[10\times (3)=30\] and \[V(y)=V(10X)\] \[={{(10)}^{2}}\,V(X)\] \[=100(2)=200\] Hence, \[\{E(y),\,V(y)\}=(30,\,\,200)\]
