Answer to Problem 19E

New mean is 152 and standard deviation is 84.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  μ = 1152

  σ = 84

All the values decreased by 1000 pounds. Therefore, the mean is also decreased by 1000 pounds.

Then the new mean is,

  μ=μold1000=11521000=152

There will be no impact on standard deviation because the spread of the data values will not change by adding subtracting any value.

Therefore, σ=σold=84

b)

To determine

To find the mean and standard deviation of the sale prices for all the steers.

b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 19E

New mean is $460.80 and standard deviation is $33.60

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  μ = 1152

  σ = 84

All the values multiplied by $0.4.

Then the new mean is,

  μ=0.4×μold=0.4×1152=$460.80

Therefore, σ=0.4×σold=0.4×84=$33.60
