How to find the mean and variance of new combinations of old population?

**BookEnquiry** · Nov 28th 2011, 04:53 AM

I'm a late learner of maths &science.
Any books discuss these kind of problems?

3 groups of data: $f_ix_i,\ g_iy_i,\ h_iz_1$

f g h are their frequencies.
mean: $\bar{x},\ \bar{y},\ \bar{z}$
variance: $\sigma_x,\ \sigma_y,\ \sigma_z$

Find the mean and variance of $T(f_ix_i,\ g_iy_i,\ h_iz_i)$

T can be many different operations.

for example:

T may be: $ax_i+b$

T may be: $ax_i+by_i$

T may be: $e^{x_i}$

T may be: $lnx_i$

T may be: $x_i+x_j$ , mean of two elements drawn from $f_ix_i$ with replacement i=j is allowed. $n^2$

T may be: $x_i+x_j$ , two elements drawn from $f_ix_i$ without replacement where $i\ \neq\ j$ . $C^n_2$

T may be: [????I don't know how it looks like.] is $P^n_2$

T may be: $x_i+x_j+x_k$ , three elements drawn from $f_ix_i$ without replacement where $i\ \neq\ j\ \neq\ k$ . $C^n_3{$

T may be: $ax_i+by_i+cz_i$ , a b c elements drawn from $f_ix_i,\ g_iy_i,\ h_iz_1$ respectively with replacement. $n^{a+b+c}$

T may be: [????I don't know how it looks like.], a b c elements drawn from $f_ix_i,\ g_iy_i,\ h_iz_1$ respectively without replacement. $[????$ I can't figure out the combination]
