Answer: The answer is YES.


Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked whether changing all the values in a data set in the same way is called transforming the data. The answer to this question is YES.

We define transformation of a data in the following manner.

In data analysis, transformation of data is defined as the replacement of a variable by a function of that variable.

For example, if we replace a variable x by the square root of x or the logarithm of x, then the new data will be called as transformed one.

If we have a data 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, then we can tranform this data to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 by applying the square root function to each of the member.

In other language, a transformation is a replacement that changes the shape of a distribution or relationship.


Thus, the answer is YES.
