Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data : 5, 9, 10, 11, 15
s = √[(ΣX - m)² / (n - 1)]
n = number of sample = 5
m = mean
m = ΣX/n
m = (5 + 9 + 10+ 11 + 15) / 5
m = 50/5 = 10
s =√((5-10)^2 + (9-10)^2 + (10-10)^2 + (11-10)^2 + (15-10)^2) / 5-1
= 3.601
(B) Multiply each data value by 5 to obtain the new data set 25, 45, 50, 55, 75. Compute s.
m = ΣX/n
m = (25 + 45 + 50 + 55 + 75) / 5
m = 250/5 = 50
s =√((25-50)^2 + (45-50)^2 + (50-50)^2 + (55-50)^2 + (75-50)^2) / 5-1
= 18. 028
(c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b). In general, how does the standard deviation change if each data value is multiplied by a constant c?
The standard deviation changes by almost c times multiplied by the initial value.
3.601 * 5 = 18.005 which is almost equivalent to 18.028
(d) You recorded the weekly distances you bicycled in miles and computed the standard deviation to be s 3.1 miles. Your friend wants to know the standard deviation in kilometers. Do you need to redo all the calcula- tions?
No
Given 1 mile 1.6 kilometers, what is the standard deviation in kilometers?
If 1 mile = 1.6km
s = 3.1 miles
s in kilometers = (1.6 * 3.1) = 4.96km
