Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given points:

Explanation:

The value is attached in the image file please find it.

In point a:

First, we calculate the find the mean,

Formula:


\to Mean (\bar{x}) = (( \sum x))/(n)


=(540)/(13)\\\\ = 41.54

To calculate the standard deviation, subtract the mean value from all observations then square its value:


SD = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}} \\
= \sqrt{ (339.2308)/(13-1)}


= \sqrt{ (339.2308)/(12)}\\\\= √(28.269)\\\\=5.31

please find attached file

In point b:

New
x_i = 1 x_i + 0.05 x_i = 1.05 x_i

Calculate new mean:


\to \bar{x} = (\sum x)/(n) \\


=(567)/(13) \\\\= 43.62

calculating the standard deviation:


SD = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}} \\
= \sqrt{ (374.0022)/(13-1)}


= \sqrt{ (374.0022)/(12)}\\\\= √(31.16)\\\\=5.58

please find attached file

In point C:

Calculate new mean:


\to \bar{x} = (\sum x)/(n) \\


=(47.25)/(13) \\\\= 3.46

calculating the standard deviation:


SD = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}} \\
= \sqrt{ (2.5975)/(13-1)}


= \sqrt{ (2.5975)/(12)}\\\\= √(0.216)\\\\=0.46

please find attached file

In point d:

for b,

New
\bar{x}= 1.05 \bar{x}= 1.05(41.54) =43.62

New
s= 1.05s= 1.05(5.31)=5.57

for c,

New
\bar{x}= \frac{ \bar{x}}{12}= (41.54)/(12) = 3.46

New
s = (s)/( 12) = (5.31)/(12)= 0.44
