  1. If the variance of the random variable X is σ2 x then the variance of – kx is—
    1. 2x
    2. – Kσ2x
    3. K2σ2x
    4. None of these
Correct Option: C

We know that
σ2x = E[x2] – [μx]2

= x2 fx(x)dx -xfx(x)dx 2
-∞-∞

Let, new variance,
σ2 x′ = (– kx)2fx(x)dx -(– kx)fx(x)dx2{∵ x′ = – kx}
-∞-∞

or
σ2 x′ = k2x2fx(x)dx - k2xfx(x)dx2
-∞-∞

σ2 x′ = k2σ2x
