MCQ

Choose the correct answer. The standard deviation of some temperature data in °C is 5. If the data were converted into °F, the variance would be:

✓
81
B
57
C
36
D
25

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

81

Given that $\sigma_\text{c}=5$
We know that $\text{C}=\frac{5}{9}(\text{F}-32)$
$\Rightarrow\text{F}=\frac{9\text{C}}{5}+32$
$\therefore\ \sigma_\text{F}=\frac{9}{5}\sigma_\text{c}=\frac{9}{5}\times5=9$
$\therefore\ \sigma^2_{\text{F}}=(9)^2=81$
