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 7, 12, 13, 8, 17.
(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 3 to obtain the new data set 21,
36, 39, 24, 51. Compute s. (Round your answer to one
