Question

Mr. Moore's physics class built different-shaped parachutes to see which shapes were more effective. The students tested the parachutes by dropping them
from a height of 30 feet and timing the fall. They calculated the summary below:
The students wanted to see what happens to their times when they drop the parachutes from 45 feet. They find that every drop is increased by 2.5 seconds.
Find the new mean and standard deviation.
O Mean, 3.1 seconds; standard deviation, 0.6 second
O Mean, 5.6 seconds; standard deviation, 3.1 seconds
O Mean, 5.6 seconds; standard deviation, -1.9 seconds
O Mean, 8.1 seconds, standard deviation, 0.6 second

Answer 1

Your answer is the 5.6 seconds
