Question:medium

The standard deviation of 100 observations is 10. If 20 is added to each observation, then what will be the new standard deviation?

Show Hint

Adding or subtracting a constant shifts the entire distribution but does not change its spread, so variance and standard deviation remain the same. However, multiplying or dividing by a constant $k$ will multiply the standard deviation by $|k|$.
