Answer:

The mean will stay the same.

The standard deviation will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 5 cards, she has received, the mean will be:

μ=(∑x)/n

=125/5

=25

The mean is 25 and the standard deviation is 10.

σ=10

If a new card is received with $25, then the sum will be $150

So the new mean will be:

μ'=(∑x)/n

=150/6

=25

And the new standard deviation will be:

σ'= 9.12

We can clearly see that

μ= μ'

and

σ> σ'

So the mean will remain the same and standard deviation will decrease. .

Only problem 6a. Can someone demonstrate how to do this so I can do the rest solo?

as far as I can tell, is simply asking to write two more expressions, that are equivalent to the provided one, namely, grab the provided one and expand it, if you simplify the expanded version, you'd end up with the provided, for example

$\bf \boxed{6a.1}~\hfill \stackrel{changing}{\cfrac{29\cdot 3}{30\cdot 3}}\implies \stackrel{one}{\cfrac{87}{90}}~\hfill \stackrel{changing}{\cfrac{29\cdot 7}{30\cdot 7}}\implies \stackrel{t wo}{\cfrac{203}{210}}\\\\\\\boxed{6a.3}~\hfill \stackrel{ch anging}{\cfrac{15\div 3}{30\div 3}}\implies \stackrel{one}{\cfrac{5}{10}}~\hfill \stackrel{changing}{\cfrac{15\div 5}{30\div 5}}\implies \stackrel{two}{\cfrac{3}{6}}$

so let's do 6a1, 6a3 and 6a5.

$\bf \boxed{6a.1}~\hfill \stackrel{changing}{\cfrac{29\cdot 3}{30\cdot 3}}\implies \stackrel{one}{\cfrac{87}{90}}~\hfill \stackrel{changing}{\cfrac{29\cdot 7}{30\cdot 7}}\implies \stackrel{t wo}{\cfrac{203}{210}} \\\\\\ \boxed{6a.3}~\hfill \stackrel{changing}{\cfrac{15\div 3}{30\div 3}}\implies \stackrel{one}{\cfrac{5}{10}}~\hfill \stackrel{changing}{\cfrac{15\div 5}{30\div 5}}\implies \stackrel{two}{\cfrac{3}{6}}$

$\bf \boxed{6a.5}~\hfill \stackrel{changing}{(9\cdot 10)\div (2\cdot 10)}\implies \stackrel{one}{90\div 20}~\hfill \stackrel{changing}{(9\cdot 70)\div(2\cdot 70)}\implies \stackrel{two}{630\div 140}$
