If the standard deviation of the numbers 2, 4, 5 & 6 is a constant a, then find the standard deviation of the numbers 4, 6, 7 & 8.

If the standard deviation of the numbers 2, 4, 5 & 6 is a constant a, then find the standard deviation of the numbers 4, 6, 7 & 8. Correct Answer a

The standard deviation is independent of the change of origin. So, the standard deviation for the new set will remain the same.
