A researcher is studying the weight of a species of fish and records the weights of 50 fish. The standard deviation of the recorded weights is 2 kg. To scale the weights for comparison with another study, the researcher multiplies each fish’s weight by a constant factor of 3. What happens to the standard deviation of the fish weights after multiplying each weight by 3?
