The mean of the values in a data set is b. If each of the values in the data setwere multiplied by 8, what would be the mean of the resulting data?.A. 7bB. bC. 9bD. 8b

SOLUTION:
We are told that;
The mean of the values in a data set is b.
When all the terms are multiplied by 8. This will result in;
[tex]New\text{ }Mean=\frac{\Sigma8x}{n}=8\frac{\Sigma x}{n}=8\text{ }Old\text{ }mean[/tex]Thus, the new mean will be 8b
