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.

You are a contractor and charge $45 for a site visit plus an additional $24 per hour for each hour you spend working at the site
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Equation: 810= (90 + 24y)

y = 30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Site visit = $45 per site

cost per hour worked = $24

for <u>each </u>work site, the total amount of money earned

= site visit fee + cost for working

But the question mentions TWO sites, hence there will be two site visits. Therefore for TWO sites, we have to account for TWO site visit fee.

Therefore for TWO sites, the total amount of money earned

= site 1 visit fee + site 2 visit fee + cost for working

= (2 x site visit fee) +  cost for working  ------ Equation 1

We are further given that we worked y hours at the hourly work rate of $24 per hour.

Hence the cost for working

= y hours x hourly rate

= y   x   $24

= $24y   (substituting this into equation 1 above)

for TWO sites, the total amount of money earned

= (2 x site visit fee) +  cost for working

= (2 x $45) +  $24y

= $90 + $24y

= $(90 + 24y)

We are also given that we have to earn $810 for two sites, hence

810 = 90 + 24y    

810 - 90 = 24y

24y = 720

y = 720/24

y = 30 hours

Find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the point (0, -4) and (1, 0).
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The Slope Intercept form of the equation through the point (0, -4) and

(1, 0)  is  y = 4 x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given points are A (0,-4) and B(1,0)

Now, slope of the equation with points (a,b) and (c,d) is given as

m = \frac{d - b}{c -a}

So, here the slope of the line AB is given as:

m = \frac{0 - (-4)}{1-0} = \frac{4}{1}  = 4

⇒ m = 4

Now, by POINT SLOPE  form:

The equation with slope m and point  (x0 , y0) is represented as :

(y-y0)  = m (x-x0)

⇒ The equation of AB is of the form with point (1,0) is

y - 0 = 4 (x -1)

or, y = 4 x - 1

Also, the SLOPE INTERCEPT form of an equation is of the form

y = m x + C ;     m = slope and C =  y -intercept

Hence, the slope intercept form of the equation through the point (0, -4) and (1, 0)  is  y = 4 x - 1
