Question:

Refer to the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Vol. 142, 2010) study of the characteristics of cheek teeth (e.g., molars) in an extinct primate species, Exercise 2.65 (p. 62). The data on dentary depth of molars (in millimeters) for 18 cheek teeth extracted from skulls are reproduced in the table.

Data on Dentary Depth (mm) of Molars 15.76 13.25 18.12 19.48 17.00 13.96 16.12 19.36 18.13 14.02 14.04 16.20 16.55 15.70

a. Find the range of the data set. If the largest depth measurement in the sample were doubled, how would the range change? Would it increase or decrease?
b. Find the variance of the data set. If the largest depth measurement in the sample were doubled, how would the variance change? Would it increase or decrease?
c. Find the standard deviation of the data set. If the largest depth measurement in the sample were doubled, how would the standard deviation change? Would it increase or decrease?
