Step 1
We have,
E(3X7)=8
3E(X)7=8
3E(X)=15
E(X)=153=5
Also,
E(X22)=19
E(X2)=19×2=38
Then , V(X)=E(X2)E2(X)=3852=3825=13
Step 2
V(702X)=E(702X)2E2(702X)
E(702X)2=E[7022×70×2X+4X2]
=702280E(X)+4E(X2)
E(702X)=702E(X)
Then, E2(702X)=702+4E2(X)2×70×2E(X)
=702280E(X)+4E2(X)
V(702X)=702280E(X)+4E(X2)(702280E(X)+4E2(X))
=4[E(X2)E2(X)]
=4×V(X)=4×13=52
