A set of data has a mean value of 15 with a standard deviation of 3. Determine the mean and standard deviation if
a) each data value is increased by 7 (2 marks)
The data set moves 7 to the right::
mean = 15+7 = 22
spread has not changed:: std = 3
---------------------------------------------
b) each data value is decreased by 5
The data set moves 5 to the left::
mean = 15-5 = 10
spread has not changed:: std = 3
---------------------
