Let
S = sum of the data values
n = number of data values

The mean M is equal to 
M = S/n
since you add up the values and divide by n. We don't need to know what S or n are. 

If we add 5 to each data value, then we're adding on n copies of 5, or 5n

The new mean N is

N = (S+5n)/(n)
N = (S/n) + (5n/n)
N = M + 5

The new mean is a result of taking the old mean M and adding on 5

So,
N = M+5
N = 10+5
N = 15

The standard deviation will remain the same because each data value hasn't moved in relation to one another. Every data value has been shifted up the same amount. For instance if A and B are two points in this data set, then A+5 and B+5 will be the same distance away. Apply this logic to any number of data values. While standard deviation isn't that simple, it still has a loose connection to "distance" of the values, or how spread out they are. 


So that's why the final answer is choice C)

USE FOR MASTERY Number of attempts allowed: 1 Write two rational numbers a/b and c/d, where a, b, c, and d are the digits 2, 3,
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

We want to craft:

a/b and c/d

where a, b, c and d can be 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Such that the distance in the number line between these two numbers is maximized.

Then we want one number to be really small, and the other to be really large.

Remember two things:

for numbers like a/b.

if a is smaller than b, then a/b is smaller than 1.

Now, if a is larger than b, then a/b is larger than 1.

And two things,

1/10 = 0.1

10/1 = 10

So when the numerator is larger, the distance displaced in the number line is larger.

Then we want to have:

a number where the numerator is the largest option and the denominator is the smallest option:

a/b = 5/2

And the two remaining options in such way that the numerator is smaller than the denominator:

c/d = 3/4.

The distance between these two numbers is:

D = 5/2 - 3/4 = 10/4 - 3/4 = 7/4.

Write the equation of the graph shown below in factored form. the graph starts at the bottom left and continues up through the x
Tanya [424]

Answer:

f(x) = (x − 1)(x − 2)(x − 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

through the x axis at one; x = 1    factor (x - 1)

through the x axis at two; x = 2    factor (x - 2)

through the x axis at three;  x = 3    factor (x - 3)

f(x) = (x − 1)(x − 2)(x − 3)
