Question 300776: The age distribution of a group of 100 people participating in a medical study is summarized:
Mean: 47.5 years
Median: 44.8 years
Standard Deviation: 6.1
If all 100 people are alive 5 years from now, how will the mean, median, and standard deviation change?
I want to say they all increase by 5, but I don't know why.
