If in the previous question, each worker is given a hike of 10% in wages, how are the mean and standard deviation values affected?

Answer»

Solution :[Suppose the wage of ith worker s `x_(1)`.
Now, each worker is GIVEN a hike of 10 in wages, NEW wage of the ith worker will be:
New wage=`x_(1)+10% "of" x_(i)`
`=x_(1)+(10)/(100)xxx_(i)`
`=(100x_(i)+10x_(i))/(100)=(110x_(i))/(100)` ltbrge 1.1`x_(i)`
Thus, each observation of ith worker is multiplied by 1.1. Since it is case of change of SCALE, new mean and STANDARD deviation will be:
New`barX="Old "barXxx1.1`
`=200xx1.1`
=220
while,
New`sigma="Old "sigmaxx1.1`
`=40xx1.1`
=44
`:.` New mean =220
New standard deviation=44.]
