List A has 80 numbers, and standard deviation is 0. Then List B has one number more than List A, which is 92. The average of list B is 12.
The standard deviation of List B is?
This is a bad question for two reasons:
1) The relationship between List A and List B is unclear. Are the two lists identical, except for one additional value in List B., Or is it simply the case that List A has 80 numbers and list B has 81 numbers?
2) The GRE won't require you to calculate any standard deviations (unless the results are trivial, such as the standard deviation is 0, or we are looking for a "new" standard deviation after performing at the same operation on each value in a set.
What's the source of this question?
I am also surprised when I meet this question. The source is from a GRE tutor, but he only gives me the answers to the question not how to solve it.
