Answer:
Correct mean = 32 grams
Correct Standard deviation = observed S.D = 2 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question above :
A scientist is weighing each of 30 fish. She obtains a mean of 30 g and a standard deviation of 2 g. After completing the weighing, she finds that the scale was misaligned and always under reported every weight by 2 g that is
The mean after correcting the error in the scale is :
= observed mean + 2g
= 30g + 2g = 32g
The standard deviation after correcting the error in the scale remains the same as the difference of 2g has no significant effect on the Standard deviation.
This standard deviation = 2g
