The standard deviation of both the data are the same which is 3.67 and adding the same constant c to each data value results in the standard deviation remaining the same.
<h3>What is the standard deviation?</h3>It is defined as the measure of data disbursement, It gives an idea about how much is the data spread out.
We have a data set:
8, 16, 14, 8, 16
As we know the formula for standard deviation is:
Here σ is the standard deviation
xi is each value from the data set
X is the mean of the data set
n is the number of observation in data set.
X = (8+16+14+8+16)/5 = 12.4
n = 5
After calculating the standard deviation will be:
σ = 3.67
Add 8 to each data value to get the new data set 16, 24, 22, 16, 24.
New standard deviation:
σ(new) = 3.67
The standard deviation of both the data are same we can say the standard deviation does not change when we add a constant to each data value.
Adding the same constant c to each data value results in the standard deviation remaining the same.
Thus, the standard deviation of both the data are the same which is 3.67 and adding the same constant c to each data value results in the standard deviation remaining the same.
