For a random variable x, a new random variable y can be created by applying a linear transformation y = a + bx, where a and b are constants. If the random variable x has mean uy and standard deviation o, then the mean, variance and standard deviation of y are given by the following formulas. Hy = a+bux oy= b°o²x oy lblox The mean annual salary for employees at a company is $36,000. At the end of the year, each employee receives a $3000 bonus and a 9% raise (based on salary). What is the new mean annual salary (including the bonus and raise) for the employees? The new mean annual salary is $

The built-in data set, rock, is a data frame recording the measurements of rock sample from a petroleum reservoir. We are interested in the area column of rock. Using R we can convert this column into the vector x by the assignment x<-rock$shape. Assume that the n area measurements x=(x1, x2,...,xn) are a random sample from a population with true unknown mean ? and true unknown variance ?2. Remember, let x be defined by x<-rock$shape.
