Which histogram represents the data set with the smallest standard deviation? A histogram titled Squad 1 has x-ring hits on the

x-axis and frequency on the y-axis. 0 to 1, 2; 1 to 2, 1; 2 to 3, 3; 3 to 4, 6; 4 to 5, 8. A histogram titled Squad 2 has x-ring hits on the x-axis and frequency on the y-axis. 0 to 1, 8; 1 to 2, 5; 2 to 3, 4; 3 to 4, 2; 4 to 5, 1. A histogram titled Squad 3 has x-ring hits on the x-axis and frequency on the y-axis. 0 to 1, 1; 1 to 2, 5; 2 to 3, 7; 3 to 4, 5; 4 to 5, 2.

The histogram which represents the data set with the smallest standard deviation is: C. Squad 3.

<h3>What is a histogram?</h3>

A histogram can be defined as a type of chart that's used to graphically represent a set of data points into user-specified ranges, especially through the use of rectangular bars.

Basically, standard deviation is a statistical tool which can be used to determine the measure of spread for the data represented in a histogram, especially based on the frequency of the specified ranges.

In this scenario, the histogram which represents the data set with the smallest standard deviation is Squad 3 because it has the least frequency on the y-axis.

Answer:

  Squad 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of a population can be computed as the root of the variance. The variance will be the mean square less the square of the mean. When given a histogram, we don't know the population values, so we can only use a representative value (rep value) to stand in for all of the data values that fall in a given range.

__

The attached spreadsheet does the calculation just described. It shows that Squad 3 has the least standard deviation of x-ring hits.

__

<h3>example calculation</h3>

Here's an example of the calculation of the sum of squares. (Squad 1 data)

  ∑squares = 2(0.5^2) +1(1.5^2) +3(2.5^2) +6(3.5^2) +8(4.5^2)

  = 0.50 +2.25 +18.75 + 73.50 +1642.00 = 257.00

Similarly, the sum of values is ...

  ∑values = 2(0.5) +1(1.5) +3(2.5) +6(3.5) +8(4.5)

  = 1.0 +1.5 +7.5 +21.0 +36.0 = 67.0

Then the variance is ...

  (257/20) -(67/20)^2 = 12.85 -11.2225 = 1.6275

Division by 20 gives the mean in each case, since there are a total of 20 values in each of the sets of data.

The standard deviation is ...

  √1.6275 ≈ 1.2757 ≈ 1.28 . . . . . for Squad 1

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

Note that we have computed the <em>population</em> standard deviation, assuming the values given represent the entire population of data values. For the purpose here, that is irrelevant. The ratio of "population" standard deviation to "sample" standard deviation is √((n-1)/n), where the sample size is n. Since the ratio is constant, the determination of "smallest" is not affected.

__

Ordinarily a histogram would be designed with bin limits that allow for unambiguous determination of the bin a data value should be assigned to. Here, we suspect that "x-ring hits" will be an integer from 0 to 5, so the identification of bins as "0 to 1" and "1 to 2" means the destination of data value 1 is ambiguous. Clearly, using a non-integer to represent the values in the bin means they are not represented exactly.

In defense of that rep value decision, adding or subtracting a constant to the values of a data set changes the mean, but not the standard deviation. In other words, the actual "rep value" is unimportant, as long as it has a consistent relationship to the data values in the bin.

__

For small data sets with a relatively large ratio between largest and smallest values, the mode may not be a very good representation of the mean. However we note that Squads 1 and 2 have distributions that are skewed left and right, respectively, in relation to the mode. On the other hand, Squad 3 has a fairly symmetrical distribution about the mode, which is centered in the range. This gives a qualitative suggestion that Squad 3 will have a smaller standard deviation than the others.

Answer:

16

Please list as brainlist so that I can level up! Thank You!

Hope this helps!!!!!!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember 20% = 0.20 or 0.2

so 20% x 80 = 0.2 x 80 = 16

Look at the picture below
Lelu [443]

Answer: Phillip is correct. The triangles are <u>not </u>congruent.

How do we know this? Because triangle ABC has the 15 inch side between the two angles 50 and 60 degrees. The other triangle must have the same set up (just with different letters XYZ). This isn't the case. The 15 inch side for triangle XYZ is between the 50 and 70 degree angle.

This mismatch means we cannot use the "S" in the ASA or AAS simply because we don't have a proper corresponding pair of sides. If we knew AB, BC, XZ or YZ, then we might be able to use ASA or AAS.

At this point, there isn't enough information. So that means John and Mary are incorrect, leaving Phillip to be correct by default.

Note: Phillip may be wrong and the triangles could be congruent, but again, we don't have enough info. If there was an answer choice simply saying "there isn't enough info to say either if the triangles are congruent or not", then this would be the best answer. Unfortunately, it looks like this answer is missing. So what I bolded above is the next best thing.
