Explanation:

When a constant is added to each data - value (shifting data), the spread of the data remains the same. Measures of spread like range, variance, and standard deviation are not affected by adding a constant to each data - point. For example, if we have data set {1, 2, 3} with a range of 3 - 1=2, and we add 5 to each data - point to get {6, 7, 8}, the range is 8 - 6 = 2.

Answer:

standard deviation (or variance or range)
