Answer

Standard deviation, $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum\limits_{\text{i}}(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{x}})^2}{\text{n}}}$ Here, $\overline{\text{x}}$ represents the arithmetic mean. Multiplying each $x_i$ by a: $\overline{\text{x}}_{\text{new}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\limits_{\text{i}}\text{a}.\text{x}_\text{i}$ $=\text{a}\times\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}$ $=\text{a}.\overline{\text{x}}_{\text{old}}$ New standard deviation, $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum\limits_{\text{i}}(\text{a}.\text{x}_\text{i}-\text{a}.\overline{\text{x}})^2}{\text{n}}}$ $=\sqrt{\frac{\sum\limits_{\text{i}}\text{a}^2.(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{x}})^2}{\text{n}}}$ $=|\text{a}|\sqrt{\frac{\sum\limits_{\text{i}}(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{x}})^2}{\text{n}}}$ $=|\text{a}|.\sigma$
