ANSWER:
Solution 6SE
Step1 of 3:
We have sample size N = 15 and mean
Total number of observations X’s is 15
The smallest number on a list X is changed from 12.9 to 1.29.
We need to find,
a).Is it possible to determine by how much the mean changes? If so, by how much does it change?
b).Is it possible to determine the value of the mean after the change? If so, what-is the value?
c).Is it possible to determine by how much the median changes? If so, by how much does it change?
d).Is it possible to determine by how much the standard deviation changes? If so, by how much does it change?
Step2 of 3:
a).
