Answer:

X = 8 And y = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

add equaction i and education ii,

2 -5y = 1

2x +5y = 17

------------------

2+2x = 18

or, 2x = 18 - 2

or X = 16/2

or X = 8

Again from equation i,

2 - 5y = 1

or, -5y = 1 - 2

or, -5y = -1

or, y = -1/-5 (cut the subtraction sign)

or, y = 1/5

The following data values represent a population what is the variance of the values 17, 5 ,11, 1,11

marin [14]

1) from smaller to higher:
1,5,11,11,17

2) find the mean
1 + 5 + 11 + 11 + 17 = 45
mean = 45/5 = 9

Variance = Σ(x- mean)²/(N-1)
[(1-9)² + (5-9)²+(11-9)² + (11-9)²+ (17-9)² ]'(5-1) = 38

Variance = 38
