(c)~The new score is more than 1 standard deviation away from the previous mean, so
But the justification is incorrect.
The update equation for the unbiased sample variance, supposing n-1 old measurements, and given the mean and sample variance on n-1 measurements, and a new nth measurement is:
So the critical value of x_n so that the sample variance stays the same is
therefore, the there is a factor of 25/24 missing in the justification. I would submit a pull request, but I am not sure if the textbook covers these equations.
