vlabodo [156]

$\frac{1}{2} (n+8) + \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{1(n+8)}{2} + \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{n+8}{2} + \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{2(n+8)}{4} + \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{2(n+8) + 3}{4}$

$\frac{2n + 16 +3}{4}$

$\frac{2n + 19}{4}$

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.
