In the step-deviation method with class width h, variance of x equals
Ah squared times variance of y
Bh times variance of y
Cvariance of y divided by h
Dvariance of y plus h
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. h squared times variance of y
Since x = A + hy, the spread is scaled by h and variance by h squared.
