    This document contains 10 questions about calculating and interpreting measures of central tendency (mean, median) and dispersion (variance, standard deviation) from sample data sets. It asks the reader to compute these values from given data and interpret what they say about the data distribution. It also contains questions about how these statistics would change if the data was modified in some way, such as by removing outliers or adding a constant to each value. The goal is to demonstrate computational procedures for and conceptual understanding of commonly used descriptive statistics.

    d) Is it possible to answer question (c) without calculations of the standard deviation?
    Q7. A given data set has a mean and a standard deviation .
    a) What are the new values of the mean and the standard deviation if the same constant k=5 is added
    to each data value in the given set?
    b) What are the new values of the mean and the standard deviation if each data value of the set is
    multiplied by the same constant k=5 ?
    Q8. If the standard deviation of a given data set is equal to zero, what can we say about the data
    values included in the given data set?

    the time of calculation two observations were wrongly taken as 30 and 70 in place of 3 and 27
    respectively, find the correct standard deviation.
