QUESTION:

Measure up Clarence measures the diameter of each tennis ball in a bag with a standard ruler. Unfortunately, he uses the ruler incorrectly so that each of his measurements is 0.2 inches too large. Clarences data had a mean of 3.2 inches and a standard deviation of 0.1 inches. Find the mean and standard deviation of the corrected measurements in centimeters (recall that 1 inch = 2.54 cm).

QUESTION:

Measure up Clarence measures the diameter of each tennis ball in a bag with a standard ruler. Unfortunately, he uses the ruler incorrectly so that each of his measurements is 0.2 inches too large. Clarences data had a mean of 3.2 inches and a standard deviation of 0.1 inches. Find the mean and standard deviation of the corrected measurements in centimeters (recall that 1 inch = 2.54 cm).

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Given,

The mean of the diameter,

The standard deviation of the diameter,

Correction for measurements = 0.2 inches

1 inch = 2.54 cm

We have to find the mean and standard deviation of the corrected measurements in centimeters.
