Answer:

False (I assume it's a true/false question)

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation measures how spread out the data is. If you add 8 to all the data values, the distribution of data moves to the right (on a graph) 8 units. The shifted data are no more and no less spread out than before. The standard deviation does not change.
