In this problem, we explore the effect on the standard deviation of adding the same constant to each data value in a data set. C

onsider the following data set.
8, 16, 14, 8, 16

(a) Use the defining formula, the computation formula, or a calculator to compute s. (Enter your answer to four decimal places.)

(b) Add 8 to each data value to get the new data set 16, 24, 22, 16, 24. Compute s. (Enter your answer to four decimal places.)

(c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b). In general, how do you think the standard deviation of a data set changes if the same constant is added to each data value?

Adding the same constant c to each data value results in the standard deviation remaining the same.

Adding the same constant c to each data value results in the standard deviation increasing by c units.

Adding the same constant c to each data value results in the standard deviation decreasing by c units.

There is no distinct pattern when the same constant is added to each data value in a set.

Answer:

3.6661

3.6661

A, Adding a constant does nothing to the standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm gonna assume s=standard deviation

The standard deviation is just the square root of the second moment minus the first moment squared

Because we were not told otherwise I think it's pretty safe to assume that all events are equally likely

Let's start by calculating the first moment (AKA The mean)

1/5(8+16+14+8+16)= 12.4

Let's then find the second moment

1/5(8²+16²+14²+8²+16²)= 167.2

√(167.2-12.4²)=3.6661

b.

While I could just tell you that adding something to the standard deviation (and the variane as well) doesn't do anything let's calculate it for fun

same process

.2(16+24+22+16+24)= 20.4

.2(16²+24²+22²+16²+24²)=429.6

√(429.6-20.4²)= 3.6661

The area of Mark's laptop computer
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

4x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is 12x2 + 3x in

The length is 3x

Formula is A=L*B

12x2 + 3x=3x*B

Divide both side by 3x

12x2+3x divide by 3x=B

4x+1=B

The express for the width is 4x+1

Two bonds are available on the market as follows:
erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal or initial amount invested.

R represents the interest rate.

T represents duration of the investment in years

From the information given,

P = $750

R = 5%

T = y years

I = the total return of Bond 1 - principal

I = 1000 - 750 = $250

Therefore,

250 = (750 × 5 × y)/100

250 = 37.5y

y = 250/37.5

y = 6.7 years
