Suppose that you had the following data set. 100 200 250 275 300 suppose that the value 250 was a typo, and it was suppose to be 260. how would the value of the standard deviation change?

It will increase by  0.91180239

The corrrect standard deviation is 79.96874389

Explanation:

With the typo

u = (100 + 200 + 250 + 275 + 300)/ 5 = 225

1    100  - 225 =   -125

2   200  - 225 =   -25

3   250  - 225 =    25

4   275  - 225 =    50

5   300  - 225 =    75

s = √{(1/(N-1)  x  (-125)^2 + (-25)^2 + 25^2 + 50^2 + 75^2)}

s = √{1/4 x 25,000}

s = 79.0569415

With the correct value

u = (100 + 200 + 260 + 275 + 300)/ 5 = 227

1    100  - 227 =   -127

2   200  - 227 =   -27

3   260  - 227 =    33

4   275  - 227 =    48

5   300  - 227 =    73

s = √{(1/(N-1)  x  (-127)^2 + (-27)^2 + 33^2 + 48^2 + 73^2)}

s = √{1/4 x 25,580}

s = 79.96874389

Difference 0.91180239

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
