    $12$
  • B
    $14$
  • C
    $16$
  • D

Suppose a population $A$ has $100$ observations $101, 102, . . ., 200$ and another population $B$ has $100$ observations $151, 152, . . ., 250$. If $V_A$ and $V_B$ represent the variances of the two populations,respectively,then $V_A / V_B$ is:

In a discrete data,$\frac{1}{4}$ of the observations are equal to $a$,another $\frac{1}{4}$ of the observations are equal to $-a$. Out of the remaining,half of them are equal to $b$ and the rest are equal to $-b$. If the variance of all the observations is $ab$,then:
