Let the original list of values be x1,x2,…,xn with mean μ and standard deviation σ.
Assertion P: If each entry xi becomes xi+7, the new mean is:
μnew=n1∑(xi+7)=μ+7 Hence, P is correct.
Assertion Q: Standard deviation is invariant under a constant shift (change of origin). The new standard deviation remains σ, not σ+7. Hence, Q is incorrect.
Assertion R: If each entry xi becomes 2xi, the new mean is:
μnew=n1∑(2xi)=2μ Hence, R is correct.
Assertion S: If each entry is scaled by a factor of 2, the standard deviation is also multiplied by 2 (i.e., σnew=2σ). Hence, S is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct assertions are P and R, which corresponds to option (C).
