Question
The expected value and variance of the random variable X are as follows:    
    E(x) = 716.04          
    var(x) = 48656.08          
The random variable x is now transformed to y according to the following linear equation.
                 
    y = a + bx          
    a = 523.215          
    b = 11.275          

16 In the previous question, the variance of the transformed random variable is:

a 6185434.58
b 6311667.94
c 6440477.49
d 6571915.81
