Question
- use this data set: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
a. find the standard deviation.
b. add 5 to each value, and then find the standard deviation.
c. subtract 5 from each value and find the standard deviation.
d. multiply each value by 5 and find the standard deviation.
e. divide each value by 5 and find the standard deviation.
f. generalize the results of parts b through e.
g. compare these results with those in exercise 38 of exercises 3 - 1.
- the mean deviation is found by using this formula:
mean deviation = \frac{\sum|x - \overline{x}|}{}
Step1: Calculate the mean for part a
The mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{10 + 20+30+40+50}{5}=\frac{150}{5} = 30\)
Step2: Calculate the variance for part a
Step3: Calculate the standard deviation for part a
\(s=\sqrt{250}\approx15.81\)
Step4: For part b: New data set \(15,25,35,45,55\)
The mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{15 + 25+35+45+55}{5}=\frac{175}{5} = 35\)
\(s=\sqrt{250}\approx15.81\)
Step5: For part c: New data set \(5,15,25,35,45\)
The mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{5+15+25+35+45}{5}=\frac{125}{5} = 25\)
\(s=\sqrt{250}\approx15.81\)
Step6: For part d: New data set \(50,100,150,200,250\)
The mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{50+100+150+200+250}{5}=\frac{750}{5}=150\)
\(s=\sqrt{6250}\approx79.06\)
Step7: For part e: New data set \(2,4,6,8,10\)
The mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{2 + 4+6+8+10}{5}=\frac{30}{5}=6\)
\(s=\sqrt{10}\approx3.16\)
Step8: For part f
If \(y_{i}=x_{i}+k\) (where \(k\) is a constant), the standard deviation \(s_y=s_x\). If \(y_{i}=kx_{i}\) (where \(k
eq0\) is a constant), \(s_y = |k|s_x\)

a. \(s\approx15.81\)
b. \(s\approx15.81\)
c. \(s\approx15.81\)
d. \(s\approx79.06\)
e. \(s\approx3.16\)
f. Adding or subtracting a constant to each data - value does not change the standard deviation. Multiplying each data - value by a non - zero constant \(k\) changes the standard deviation by a factor of \(|k|\).
