By adding a constant value to every salary amount, the measures of

central tendency are increased by the amount, while the measures of

dispersion, remains the same

The correct responses are;

(a) <u>The shape of the data remains the same</u>

(b) <u>The mean and median are increased by $1,000</u>

(c) <u>The standard deviation and interquartile range remain the same</u>

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Present teachers salary = Between $38,000 and $70,000

Amount of raise given to every teacher = $1,000

Required:

Effect of the raise on the following characteristics of the data

(a) Effect on the shape of distribution

The outline shape of the distribution will the same but higher by $1,000

(b) The mean of the data is given as follows;

\overline x = \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i)}{\sum f_i}

Therefore, following an increase of $1,000, we have;

 \overline x_{New} = \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot (x_i + 1000))}{\sum f_i} =  \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i + f_i \cdot 1000))}{\sum f_i} = \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i)}{\sum f_i} + \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot 1000)}{\sum f_i}

\overline x_{New} = \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i)}{\sum f_i} + \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot 1000)}{\sum f_i} = \dfrac{\sum (f_i \cdot x_i)}{\sum f_i} + 1000 = \overline x + 1000

  • Therefore, the new mean, is equal to the initial mean increased by 1,000

Median;

Given that all salaries, x_i, are increased by $1,000, the median salary, x_{med}, is also increased by $1,000

Therefore;

  • The correct response is that the median is increased by $1,000

(c) The standard deviation, σ, is given by \sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i-\overline x  \right )^{2} }{n}};

Where;

n = The number of teaches;

Given that, we have both a salary, x_i, and the mean, \overline x, increased by $1,000, we can write;

\sigma_{new} =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left ((x_i + 1000) -(\overline x  + 1000)\right )^{2} }{n}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i + 1000 -\overline x  - 1000\right )^{2} }{n}}

\sigma_{new} = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i + 1000 -\overline x  - 1000\right )^{2} }{n}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i + 1000 - 1000 - \overline x\right )^{2} }{n}}

\sigma_{new} = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i + 1000 - 1000 - \overline x\right )^{2} }{n}} =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i-\overline x  \right )^{2} }{n}} = \sigma

Therefore;

\sigma_{new} = \sigma; <u>The standard deviation stays the same</u>

Interquartile range;

The interquartile range, IQR = Q₃ - Q₁

New interquartile range, IQR_{new} = (Q₃ + 1000) - (Q₁ + 1000) = Q₃ - Q₁ = IQR

Therefore;

  • <u>The interquartile range stays the same</u>

Lelechka [254]
The correct answer would be letter C. She needs to either break or tie the record. The less than or equal to symbol in the original inequality would be her scoring less or tying the record. Using the greater than or equal to sign would represent her breaking the record or tying with it. Hope this helped.
