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>

Sav [38]

Answer:

  1. Railway lines are example of parallel lines
  2. The floor and the walls of a room are example of perpendicular lines
  3. Two roads crossing at a signal can be termed as example of intersecting lines

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines can be related in following three ways

  1. Lines can be parallel
  2. Lines can be perpendicular
  3. Lines can be intersecting at an angle other than 90.

Now three real life examples of above three scenarios are described below:

  1. Railway lines are example of parallel lines
  2. The floor and the walls of a room are example of perpendicular lines
  3. Two roads crossing at a signal can be termed as example of intersecting lines
