Algebra I – Unit 10 Day 5 Comparing Sets of Data !!1. a. Find the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation for the following set
of data. Sam’s recent homework check grades = 75, 0, 75, 100, 50 !!Median: Mode: Range:
Variance =___________ Standard Deviation = __________ !b. Sam’s teacher decided to give all homework check grades a bonus of 10 pts. Using the adjusted homework check grades, find the new mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation. !Median: Mode: Range:
Variance =___________ Standard Deviation = __________ !c. Make a conjecture to the effect of the mean, median, mode, range, and
standard deviation of a data set if the same value n is added to each value in the data set. !!

a. Sam’s teacher changed his mind and decided to change all homework check grades to be out of a total of 50 points (i.e. multiply the original homework check grades by 0.5). Using the adjusted homework check grades, find the new mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation. !

Variance =___________ Standard Deviation = __________ !e. Make a conjecture to the effect of the mean, median, mode, range, and
standard deviation of a data set if each value is multiplied by the same value n. !
