Mean of d1,d2,d3...dn
=i=1∑n(n−xi−a)
=−i=1∑nnxi+n−ai=1∑n1
=−x+n−an
=−x−a
And, the mode of d1,d2,d3...dn will be −M−a
Also, we know that the variance σ2 is unaffected by change of origin, hence it remains same.

If the mean of the data <table class="pyq-table"><tbody><tr><th>Class</th><th>$5-10$</th><th>$10-15$</th><th>$15-20$</th><th>$20-25$</th><th>$25-30$</th><th>$30-35$</th></tr><tr><td>Frequency</td><td>$2$</td><td>$k$</td><td>$28$</td><td>$54$</td><td>$k+1$</td><td>$5$</td></tr></tbody></table> is $21$, then $k$ is one of the roots of the equation :
If the mean and the variance of the data \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Class} & 4\text{-}8 & 8\text{-}12 & 12\text{-}16 & 16\text{-}20 \\ \hline \text{Frequency} & 3 & \lambda & 4 & 7 \\ \hline \end{array}\) are $\mu$ and 19 respectively, then the value of $\lambda+\mu$ is
The probability distribution of a random variable $X$ is given below : \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline X & 4k & \dfrac{30}{7}k & \dfrac{32}{7}k & \dfrac{34}{7}k & \dfrac{36}{7}k & \dfrac{38}{7}k & \dfrac{40}{7}k & 6k \\ \hline P(X) & \dfrac{2}{15} & \dfrac{1}{15} & \dfrac{2}{15} & \dfrac{1}{5} & \dfrac{1}{15} & \dfrac{2}{15} & \dfrac{1}{5} & \dfrac{1}{15} \\ \hline \end{array}\) If $\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})=\frac{263}{15}$, then $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}<20)$ is equal to :
A candidate has to go to the examination centre to appear in an examination. The candidate uses only one means of transportation for the entire distance out of bus, scooter and car. The probabilities of the candidate going by bus, scooter and car, respectively, are $\dfrac{2}{5}$, $\dfrac{1}{5}$ and $\dfrac{2}{5}$. The probabilities that the candidate reaches late at the examination centre are $\dfrac{1}{5}$, $\dfrac{1}{3}$ and $\dfrac{1}{4}$ if the candidate uses bus, scooter and car, respectively. Given that the candidate reached late at the examination centre, the probability that the candidate travelled by bus is:
A bag contains 6 blue and 6 green balls. Pairs of balls are drawn without replacement until the bag is empty. The probability that each drawn pair consists of one blue and one green ball is :
