How do you increase/decrease the standard deviation without changing the mean?

If every term is doubled, the distance between each term and the mean doubles, BUT also the distance between each term doubles and thus standard deviation increases. If each term is divided by two, the SD decreases. (b) Adding a number to the set such that the number is very close to the mean generally reduces the SD.

hoped that helped

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b
