    If mean of the n observations \[{{x}_{1}},{{x}_{2}},{{x}_{3}},...{{x}_{n}}\] be \[\bar{x},\] then the mean of n observations \[2{{x}_{1}}+3,\,\,2{{x}_{2}}+3,\,\,2{{x}_{3}}+3,...,2{{x}_{n}}+3\] is

    A) \[3\bar{x}+2\]

    B) \[2\bar{x}+3\]

    C) \[\bar{x}+3\]

    D) \[2\bar{x}\]  

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Required mean \[=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}{(2{{x}_{i}}+3)}\] \[=\frac{2}{n}\left( \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}{{{x}_{i}}} \right)+\frac{3n}{n}=2\left\{ \frac{1}{n}\left( \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}{{{x}_{i}}} \right) \right\}+3\] \[=2\bar{x}+3\]
