Q45.

Consider a finite sequence of random values X=[x_{1},x_{2},...,x_{n}]. Let \mu _{x} be the mean and \sigma _{x} be the standard deviation of X .Let another finite sequence Y of equal length be derived from this as y_{i}=a*x_{i}+b, where a and b are positive constants. Let Let \mu _{y} be the mean and \sigma _{y} be the standard deviation of this sequence. Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT?
