For the data of Exercise 4.60, multiply each data value by 10. How does s for the new values compare to s for the original values? More generally, what happens to s if each observation is multiplied by the same positive constant c?
(Reference Exercise 4.60)
Although bats are not known for their eyesight, they are able to locate prey (mainly insects) by emitting high-pitched sounds and listening for echoes. A paper appearing in Animal Behaviour (“The Echolocation of Flying Insects by Bats” [1960]: 141– 154) gave the following distances (in centimeters) at which a bat first detected a nearby insect:
a. Compute the sample mean distance at which the bat first detects an insect.
b. Compute the sample variance and standard deviation for this data set. Interpret
