Question:
64 The mican and standard deviation of a sample may change if data are rescaled For a sain- ple with mean Y, adding a constant c to each observation changes the mean to Y +
c. and the standard deviation s is unchanged. Multiplying each observation by changes the mean to c and the standard deviation to cls.
