Question:

In this problem, we explore the effect on the mean, median, and mode of adding the same number to each data value. Consider the data set 2, 2, 3, 6, 10.
(a) Compute the mode, median, and mean.
(b) Add 5 to each of the data values. Compute the mode, median, and mean.
(c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b). In general, how do you think the mode, median, and mean are affected when the same constant is added to each data value in a set?
