Question 2---Suppose that we have data x1, . . . , xn.
(a) Name two measures of the location of the data, and explain how they are calculated.
Explain which of these is more appropriate if the data consist of the annual
income of n people.

(b) Name two measures of the spread of the data, and explain how they are calculated.

(c) For i = 1 . . . , n, let yi = axi + b, where a and b are constants and a is not equal to 0. Let (mean of x)¡Âx and (standard deviation of x) sx be the sample mean and sample standard deviation, respectively, of x1, . . . , xn, and let ¡Ây and sy be the sample mean and sample standard deviation, respectively, of y1, . . . , yn. Find ¡Ây and sy in terms of ¡Âx and sx.
