Let x 1 , x 2 , … , x 100 be in an arithmetic progression, with x 1 = 2 and their mean equal to 200 .…

Let x1,x2,,x100 be in an arithmetic progression, with x1=2 and their mean equal to 200 . If yi=ixi-i,1i100, then the mean of y1,y2,, y100 is
  1. 10100
  2. 10101.50
  3. 10049.50
  4. 10051.50

Solution

Given,

Mean of x1, x2..........,x100 is 200

So, the sum of observation will be,

xi=100×200

Now using the sum of A.P formula in above equation as all terms are in arithmetic progression we get,

1002x1+x100=100×200

502+x100=100×200

x100=398

x1+99d=398

d=4

Now, xi=2+(i-1)4=4i-2

So, yi=ixi-i=3i2-2i

Now finding mean we get,

y¯=1100yi

y¯=11003i2-2i

y¯=11003×100×101×2016-2100×1012

y¯=101×2012-101

y¯=10049.5
