    Question

    What happens to the average μ\mu = 8 and the standard deviation of $sigmasigma = 3 of a population if you multiply the raw scores by a factor of 2 and then add 6 points?


    1. FALSE: The average will be μ\mu = 16 and the standard deviation becomes $sigmasigma = 6.
    2. FALSE: The mean becomes μ\mu = 16 and the standard deviation becomes $sigmasigma = 12.
    3. TRUE: The mean becomes μ\mu = 22 and the standard deviation becomes $sigmasigma = 6.
    4. FALSE: The mean becomes μ\mu = 22 and the standard deviation becomes σ\sigma = 12.
