Adding a constant to each value in a data set does not change the distance between values so the standard deviation remains the same.
For example, consider the following numbers
2
,
3
,
4
,
4
,
5
,
6
,
8
,
10
for this set of data the standard deviation would be
s
=
√
∑
n
i=1
(

n

s

...

(
10
−
5.25
)
2
8
−
1
s
=
2.65922
If we were to add 5 to each value in this data set, the new set of values would be:
7
,
8
,
9
,
9
,
10
,
11

s

...

(
15
−
10.25
)

8
−
1
s
=
2.65922
As you can see the s.d. remains the same unless you multiply every value by a constant.

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO SOLVE!!!!
VARVARA [1.3K]
Write the vertex form of the equation and find the necessary coefficient to make it work.
.. y = a*(x +3)^2 -2
.. = ax^2 +6ax +9a -2

You require the y-intercept to be 7. So, for x=0, you have
.. 9a -2 = 7
.. 9a = 9
.. a = 1

The equation you seek is
.. y = x^2 +6x +7

(x - 2)² + 6x – 7 Which of the following is equivalent to
podryga [215]

Answer:

x^2 +2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 2)\² + 6x - 7

Required

The equivalent

We have:

(x - 2)\² + 6x - 7

Expand

(x - 2)\² + 6x - 7 = x^2 -2x-2x +4 +6x - 7

Collect like terms

(x - 2)\² + 6x - 7 = x^2 -2x-2x+6x +4  - 7

(x - 2)\² + 6x - 7 = x^2 +2x-3

Hence, the equivalent is:

x^2 +2x-3
