There is a single choice question about high school statistics. Answer the question by replying A, B, C or D.
Question: The appraised values of houses in a city have a mean of $125,000 with a standard deviation of $23,000. Because of a new teachers' contract, the school district needs an extra 10% in funds compared to the previous year. To raise this additional money, the city instructs the assessment office to raise all appraised house values by $5,000. What will be the new standard deviation of the appraised values of houses in the city?
A. $23,000
B. $25,300
C. $28,000
D. $30,300

A. $23,000

Reasoning Skill: This question requires the ability to analyze the effect of a constant increase on the standard deviation of a dataset. The correct answer, A. $23,000, demonstrates an understanding that adding a constant value to each data point does not change the spread or variability of the data, and therefore the standard deviation remains the same. The incorrect answers, B. $25,300, C. $28,000, and D. $30,300, suggest a misunderstanding of this concept, as they imply that the standard deviation would increase due to the addition of a constant value.

This question requires the ability to evaluate scientific evidence by understanding the principles of statistics and how they apply to real-world scenarios. It also requires critical thinking to recognize that the addition of a constant value does not affect the standard deviation, and to eliminate the incorrect options based on this understanding.

The question involves understanding how adding a constant value to all data points affects the standard deviation. The original mean is $125,000 with a standard deviation of $23,000. When a constant amount ($5,000) is added to every house value, the spread of the data (measured by standard deviation) remains unchanged because shifting all values equally does not affect their variability. The mean increases by $5,000, but the standard deviation stays the same. The 10% increase in funds needed by the school district is irrelevant to calculating the new standard deviation.

Adding a constant amount to each value in a data set does not change the standard deviation, as the standard deviation measures the spread of the data points around the mean, not the absolute values of the data points.

Adding a constant to each value in a data set does not affect the spread of the data. The measure of spread, or in this case, the standard deviation, remains unchanged.

minimax A. $23,000

The standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. When you add or subtract a constant from every value in a data set, the standard deviation does not change. Therefore, even though the appraised values of the houses are increased by $5,000, the standard deviation remains the same at $23,000.

The standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of values. When you add a constant to each value in a data set, the standard deviation remains unchanged because the spread of the data does not change. The mean of the data set will increase by the amount added, but the standard deviation will stay the same.

Explanation: When all values in a dataset are increased by a constant amount (in this case, $5,000), the mean of the dataset increases by that constant amount, but the standard deviation remains unchanged. The standard deviation measures the spread of the data points around the mean, and adding a constant to each data point does not affect this spread. Therefore, the new standard deviation will still be $23,000.

deepseekv3 The question asks about the effect of adding a constant value to all house appraisals on the standard deviation of the appraised values.

**Key Concept**: Adding a constant to every value in a dataset does **not** change the standard deviation. The standard deviation measures the spread of the data, and adding a constant shifts all values equally without affecting their spread.

### Step-by-Step Explanation:
1. The original mean of the appraised house values is $125,000, and the original standard deviation is $23,000.
2. The city raises all appraised house values by $5,000. This is equivalent to adding a constant to every value in the dataset.
3. Adding a constant does not change the standard deviation because the spread of the data remains the same.
4. Therefore, the new standard deviation is still $23,000.

**Answer**: A. $23,000
