Question
On an exam with a M =78, you obtain a score of X = 84. Would you prefer a standard deviation of S = 2 or S =10? Explain your answer.
Using the above numbers, calculate the population mean. If 5 points were added to every score in the population, what would be the new mean and standard deviation. If every score was multiplied by five, what would be the new standard deviation?
