Understanding Data Manipulation in Spreadsheets

The video tutorial explains how to use spreadsheets to calculate key statistical parameters such as mean, median, standard deviation, and interquartile range. It demonstrates how these measures change when data is shifted or scaled. The mean and median adjust with shifts and scaling, while standard deviation and interquartile range remain unchanged with shifts but scale with the data.

What is the primary purpose of using spreadsheets in the context of this video?

• To store large amounts of data

• To create charts and graphs

• To calculate parameters like mean and standard deviation

• To design presentations

What happens to the mean if a constant value is added to all data points?

• The mean remains unchanged

• The mean decreases by that constant

• The mean increases by that constant

• The mean is multiplied by that constant

How does multiplying all data points by a constant affect the mean?

• The mean is divided by that constant

• The mean remains the same

• The mean is subtracted by that constant

• The mean is multiplied by that constant

What is the effect on the median when all data points are increased by a constant?

• The median remains unchanged

• The median decreases by that constant

• The median increases by that constant

• The median is multiplied by that constant

If all data points are multiplied by a constant, what happens to the median?

• The median is subtracted by that constant

• The median is multiplied by that constant

• The median remains the same

• The median is divided by that constant

What happens to the standard deviation if a constant is added to all data points?

• The standard deviation increases by that constant

• The standard deviation is multiplied by that constant

• The standard deviation decreases by that constant

• The standard deviation remains unchanged

How does scaling all data points by a constant affect the standard deviation?

• The standard deviation is subtracted by that constant

• The standard deviation remains the same

• The standard deviation is divided by that constant

• The standard deviation is multiplied by that constant

What is the effect on the interquartile range when all data points are increased by a constant?

• The interquartile range increases by that constant

• The interquartile range is multiplied by that constant

• The interquartile range decreases by that constant

• The interquartile range remains unchanged

If all data points are multiplied by a constant, what happens to the interquartile range?

• The interquartile range is divided by that constant

• The interquartile range is subtracted by that constant

• The interquartile range remains the same

• The interquartile range is multiplied by that constant

Which measures of spread change when data is scaled?

• Mean and standard deviation

• Median and interquartile range

• Standard deviation and interquartile range

• Mean and median
