The standard deviation of 100100 observations is 1010. If 55 is multiplied to each of the observations, then what is the new standard deviation ?

Options

  1. A2020
  2. B2525
  3. C4040
  4. D5050

Correct answer

D. 5050

Step-by-step solution

Given the standard deviation of 100100 observations is σ=10\sigma = 10.

If each observation in a dataset is multiplied by a constant kk, the new standard deviation becomes ∣k∣σ|k|\sigma.

Here, k=5k = 5.

New standard deviation =5×10=50= 5 \times 10 = 50.

Answer: 5050
