In this problem, we explore the effect on the standard deviation of multiplying each data value in a data set by the same constant. Consider the data set 17, 5, 17, 14, 6.
(a) Use the defining formula, the computation formula, or a
calculator to compute s. (Round your answer to one decimal
place.)
s=
(b) Multiply each data value by 8 to obtain the new data set
136, 40, 136, 112, 48. Compute s. (Round your answer to one decimal
place.)
s=
