The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze each of the given statements one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** If 10 is added to each entry on a list, then the average increases by 10. Let’s denote the entries of the list as \( a, b, c \). The average (mean) of these entries is calculated as: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{a + b + c}{3} \] Now, if we add 10 to each entry, the new entries become \( a + 10, b + 10, c + 10 \). The new average will be: \[ \text{New Average} = \frac{(a + 10) + (b + 10) + (c + 10)}{3} = \frac{a + b + c + 30}{3} = \frac{a + b + c}{3} + 10 \] Thus, the new average is the old average plus 10. Therefore, **Statement I is correct.** ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** If 10 is added to each entry on a list, then the standard deviation increases by 10. The standard deviation measures the spread of the data points from the mean. When a constant value (like 10) is added to each entry, the spread of the data does not change; it only shifts the entire dataset. Hence, the standard deviation remains unaffected. Therefore, **Statement II is incorrect.** ### Step 3: Analyze Statement III **Statement III:** If each entry on a list is doubled, then the average doubles. Using the same entries \( a, b, c \), the average is: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{a + b + c}{3} \] If we double each entry, the new entries become \( 2a, 2b, 2c \). The new average will be: \[ \text{New Average} = \frac{2a + 2b + 2c}{3} = \frac{2(a + b + c)}{3} = 2 \times \frac{a + b + c}{3} \] Thus, the new average is twice the old average. Therefore, **Statement III is correct.** ### Conclusion From the analysis: - Statement I is correct. - Statement II is incorrect. - Statement III is correct. Thus, the correct statements are I and III. ### Final Answer The correct statements are I and III. ---
