The variance of a distribution is the square of the standard deviation

The variance of the data is 2.2

<h3>How to calculate the variance</h3>

Start by calculating the expected value using:

E(x) = \sum x* P(x)

So, we have:

E(x) = 1 * 0.3 + 2* 0.2 +3 * 0.2 + 4 * 0.1 + 5 * 0.2

This gives

E(x) = 2.7

Next, calculate E(x^2) using:

E(x^2) = \sum x^2* P(x)

So, we have:

E(x^2) = 1^2 * 0.3 + 2^2* 0.2 +3^2 * 0.2 + 4^2 * 0.1 + 5^2 * 0.2

E(x^2) = 9.5

The variance is then calculated as:

Var(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2

So, we have:

Var(x) = 9.5 - 2.7^2

Var(x) = 2.21

Approximate

Var(x) = 2.2

Hence, the variance of the data is 2.2

What is the solution of the system of equations?

No solution of the system of equations y = -2x + 5 and -5y = 10x + 20 ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the types of solutions of a system of linear equations

  • One solution
  • No solution when the coefficients of x and y in the two equations are equal and the numerical terms are different
  • Infinitely many solutions when the coefficients of x , y and the numerical terms are equal in the two equations

∵ y = -2x + 5

- Add 2x to both sides

∴ 2x + y = 5 ⇒ (1)

∵ -5y = 10x + 20

- Subtract 10x from both sides

∴ -10x - 5y = 20

- Divide both sides by -5

∴ 2x + y = -4 ⇒ (2)

∵ The coefficient of x in equation (1) is 2

∵ The coefficient of x in equation (2) is 2

∴ The coefficients of x in the two equations are equal

∵ The coefficient of y in equation (1) is 1

∵ The coefficient of y in equation (2) is 1

∴ The coefficients of y in the two equations are equal

∵ The numerical term in equation (1) is 5

∵ The numerical term in equation (2) is -4

∴ The numerical terms are different

From the 2nd rule above

∴ No solution of the system of equations

No solution of the system of equations y = -2x + 5 and -5y = 10x + 20

Which of the following points is shown in the graph below?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

  • Only the x is minus. You know this because if you rotate the x axis 90 degrees clockwise, the plus axis will be on your right and the minus part of the axis on your left.
  • The other 2 (y and z) are positive.
  • All answers give - 4 in their choices. You are not helped much by -4
  • y is on your left right now. That is the plus direction so y = 5
  • z is 6 units up, so it is positive.

Answer (-4,5,6)
