The correct answer is:
Let the elements in set be
Now given mean is
Now subtracting from each term we get,
New mean as
So, sum of elements will be
Also given variance,
Now we know that subtracting from each term will not change the variance,
So,
Now let elements in set be
Given mean
Now adding each element by we get,
New mean
So, sum of elements will be
Also given
Similarly new variance,
Now finding, combined mean we get,
And combined variance
Hence, the sum of combined mean and variance will be
