Suppose that the distribution of a set of scores has a mean of 47 and a standard deviation of 14. If 4 is added to each score, what will be the mean and the standard deviation of the distribution of new scores?

  1. answer: 80,000

    step-by-step explanation:

    the population doubles every day.

    10,000*2=20,000 day 4

    20,000*2=40,000 day 5

    40,000*2=80,000 day 6

  2. Mean of new data = 51

    Standard deviation of new data = 14

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given the following in the question:

    Mean of data = 47

    Standard deviation = 14.

    Then, 4 is added to every observation of the data.

    a) Mean of new data

    When a constant value is added to every observation, the mean of the data increases by the same amount

    Mean of new score =

    [tex]\mu' = \mu+4 = 47+4=51[/tex]

    b) Standard deviation of new data

    When a constant value is added to every observation, the standard deviation remains the same.

    Standard deviation of new score =

    [tex]\sigma' = \sigma = 14[/tex]
