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

You have inherited a large collection of audio compact discs and decide to purchase a HiFi system to play them. At the retailer
leva [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at the retailer you find a choice of 4 CD players, 2 amplifiers and 3 sets of speakers. We have 4 different ways of selecting the CD players, we also have 2 different ways of selecting the amplifiers and 3 different ways of selecting the 3 sets of speakers.

So, the total number of different HiFi systems are available to purchase from this retailer is 4 × 3 × 2 = 24 .

So we have 24 different HiFi systems are available to purchase from this retailer

A circular dance stage has a perimeter of 28(3.14) feet. What is the area, in square feet, of this dance stage?
tiny-mole [99]
The perimeter (circumference) = 28 * PI.
This means the diameter = 28.
The area = PI*radius^2
area = PI * 14^2
area = PI * <span> <span> <span> 196 </span> </span> </span>
area = <span> <span> <span> 615.7521601036 </span> </span> </span> square feet

Assume that there are 365 days in a year, the probability that a person is born on any given day is the same for all days, and e
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If each day equal chance then p = Prob that a person is borne on a particular day = 1/365

Each person is independent of the other and there are two outcomes either borne in July or not

p = prob for one person not borne in July = (365-31)/365 = 334/365

a)Hence prob that no one from n people borne in July = (\frac{334}{365} )^n

b) p = prob of any one borne in July or Aug = \frac{(31+31) }{365} =\frac{62}{365}=0.1698

X- no of people borne in July or Aug

n =15

P(X>=2) =15C2 (0.1698)^2*(1-0.1698)^{13} +15C3 (0.1698)^3*(1-0.1698)^{12} +...+15C15 (0.1698)^{15}

=0.7505
