Let X be a random variable such that F(X) = 5 and V(X) = 4. The mean and the variance of 3X+4 are equal to: E(3X+4) = 13 and V(3X+4) = 54 E(3X+4) = 19 and V(3X+4) = 36 None of these E(3X+4) = 16 and V(3X+4) = 72

Step 1
We know that the mean of X is E(X) = 5, so the mean of 3X+4 is: E(3X+4) = 3E(X) + 4 = 3(5) + 4 = 19 Show more…
