- Question Type 6: Given values of a specific data set and some characteristics, being able to find the similar values for another data set
For the data set , calculate the variance and standard deviation. Then find the variance and standard deviation if each value is multiplied by 4.
[8]For the data set , calculate the mean, median, mode, and range.
Determine these same measures if each value in the data set is increased by .
[10]Questions related to the transformation of data sets, specifically focusing on how the mean and standard deviation change when each observation is multiplied by a constant.
A data set has mean 8 and standard deviation 2. If each observation is multiplied by 3, find the new mean and new standard deviation.
[4]Consider the data set .
Find the range and the interquartile range (IQR) for this data set.
[4]The highest observation in the data set increases by and the lowest observation decreases by .
Find the new range and the new interquartile range (IQR).
[4]The question assesses the property of variance under linear transformations, specifically addition of a constant.
A data set has mean and variance . Each data point is increased by . Find the new variance.
[2]Let a data set have mean and standard deviation . If each observation is increased by 10 and then multiplied by 0.5, express the new mean and new standard deviation in terms of and .
[4]A data set has mean , , and . If each value in the data set is doubled and then is subtracted, find the new mean, median, and mode.
[4]A data set's lowest value decreases by 2 and the highest increases by 3, while all other values remain unchanged. Describe the effects on the range, interquartile range (IQR), and mean of the data set.
[4]For the data set , find the interquartile range (IQR). Then find the IQR if each value is multiplied by 2.
[4]Understand the effect of transforming a data set by adding a constant to each observation.
The mean of a data set is 15. If every observation is increased by 4, what is the new mean?
[2]A data set has variance . Each data point is transformed by . Express the variance of the new data set in terms of .
[2]The mean of a data set is . Find the mean of the data set if each value is tripled.
