Question

Each score in a set of data is multiplied by 3, and then 4 is subtracted from the result. If the original mean is 10 and the original standard deviation is 5, what are the new mean and new standard deviation

Answer 1

The new mean and standard deviation is 26 and 15, when each score in data set is multiplied by 5 and then 7 is added.

According to the question,

Original mean is 10 and original standard deviation is 5 . In order to find to new mean and standard deviation when each score in data set is multiplied by 5 and then 7 is added.

First "change of scale" when every score in a data set is multiplied by a constant, its mean and standard deviation is multiplied by a same constant.

Mean: 10*3 = 30

Standard deviation: 5*3 = 15

Secondly "change of origin" when every score in a data set by a constant, its mean get  added or subtracted by the same constant and standard deviation remains constant.

Applying change of origin in the above mean and standard deviation  

Mean: 30 - 4 = 26

Standard deviation: Remains same = 15

Hence, the new mean and standard deviation is 26 and 15, when each score in data set is multiplied by 5 and then 7 is added.
