1. Test A was given to a large class. The distribution of the scores, denoted x, is characterized by several measures. The names of these measures (and their symbols are written in the first column of the chart below. The numerical values of these measures are written in the second column.
The teachers' council concluded that the tests had been too 'harsh' and considered two schemes for adjusting the scores of all the students.

- Each score would be increased by 15% of its original value (that is, multiplied by 1.15).
Fill the table with the measures characterizing the adjusted distribution of scores according to each of the two schemes.
