A vendor converts the weights on packages she sends out from pounds to kilograms (1kg ~ 2.2lbs)

(I know the answer she wants me to get...she says " a and b decrease in weight"....How is that a real answer...? The weight does not change. just the SI units. If we are supose to use SI units then the weight doesn't change. ((W = m*g and I don't think mass and gravity are changing here)) if in statistics you aren't suppose to use units then the "numeric value" would change. But you can't have it both ways....right? What am I missing. Thanks for any help in advance. The answer is less important to me than the explanation.)

a. how does this affect the standard deviation of the weights?

b. How does this affect the mean of weight of the packages?

C. if the vendor begins using heavier packaging, which increases the weight of each package by 50 g. how does this affect the mean weight and standard deviation of the weights?

A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. She carefully weights out 305.mg of oxalic acid(H2C2O4), a diprotic acid that can be purchased inexpensively in high purity, and dissolves it in 250.mL of distilled water. The student then titrates the oxalic acid solution with her sodium hydroxide solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds she has used 69.4mL of sodium hydroxide solution. Calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. Be...

Refer to the accompanying data table. The entries are weights (pounds) and pulse (beats/min) from male subjects examined as part of a large study conducted by a health organization. The data are matched, so that the first subject has a weight of 169.1 and a pulse of 68, and so on. Given the context of the data in the table, what issue can be addressed by conducting a statistical analysis of the measurements? A. Is there a relationship or an...
