To answer this question, we need to recall that: "the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other"
Thus, if we assign the point of intersection of the two diagonals in the rectangle as point O, we can say that the triangle OQR is an "isosceles triangle". Note that this is because the lengths OR and OQ are equal since we know that: "the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other". See the below diagram for clarity.
Now, we have to recall that:
- the base angles of any isosceles triangle are equal. This is a fact, and this means that the angles
- also the sum of all the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees
Now, considering the isosceles triangle OQR, we have that:
Now, since the figure already shows that angle Now, since we have established that the base angles
we can now solve the above equation for m<2 as follows:
Therefore, the correct answer is: option D
Answer:
The reason why standard deviation of the entire class is greater than standard deviation of males and females considered separately, is that mean values for males and females are different from each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
The concept of mean is well represented by the following formula
mean = , where x1, x2, xn are the observations and N is the number of observations (population).
Standard deviation represents the distance between each observation and the mean of the population (all observations). The formula for this parameter is:
Standard deviation =√[((x1 - x)² + (x2-x)² + ....+ (xn-x)²)/N-1], where x1, x2,..., xn are the observations and x is the mean value.
In this case you have that each height registered is an observation and the number of observations represents the N value. As you can see if the mean for males is different from that of females their standard deviation will be different too. Usually males have heigths greater than that of females (1.77 vs 1.64, in USA for example), and heights inside each group will be more similar than between groups. Then, when you mix all observation there will be an increase in standard deviation, because you are mixing very different heigths
