    1. Use the table to find the range, the mean, and the standard deviation of the ages for each team.
    2. Reasoning For two data sets, does the set with the greater range necessarily have the greater standard deviation? Support your answer with your results from part (a).
    1. What effect will adding 10 to every value in a data set have on the standard deviation?
    2. What will be the effect if you multiply each value by 10?
