5) Add 125 to each of the numbers in problem 4
a) Calculate the variance (s 2 )
b) Are you surprised by the results? Why or why not?
c) What happens to the mean? (You don't need to do the actual calculation unless you're not sure what's going on).
d) What happens to the median? (Again, you don't need to do the calculation unless you're not sure what's happening)
