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.

What equation represents a parabola with a focus of (0,4) and a directrix of y=2
scZoUnD [109]
We know that

Any point <span>(x,y)</span> on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix

Therefore,

focus (0,4) and directrix of y=2

<span>√[<span>(x−0)</span></span>²+(y−4)²]=y−(2)

<span>√[x</span>²+(y-4)²]=y-2

x²+(y-4)²=(y-2)²

x²+y²-8y+16=y²-4y+4

x²=4y-12-----> 4y=x²+12----->y= (x²/4)+3


the answer is

y= (x²/4)+3

Convert into a decimal degree measure. 165° 37' 44"
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

165.628° (The 8 has a line over it signalizing that it repeats forever, but I didn't know how to put it in.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 165 is whole number, it is a full degree. Since each minute is equal to 1/60 degrees, you need to multiply 37 by 1/60. Since each second is equal to 1/3600 degrees, multiply it 1/3600 by 44. Add them all together.

165 + 37 x 1/60 + 44 x 1/3600

simplify: 74533/450

Convert the fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator and you get 165.628° (with a repeating 8).

Which expression shows the sum of the polynomials with like terms grouped together? 10x^2y+2xy^2-4x^2y
Molodets [167]
<span>first find the similar term, the similar term is x^2y.
10x^2y + 2xy^2- 4x^2y
group together the similar term and place them in a parenthesis
then perform the operation to simplify the expression.
= </span>(10x^2y<span><span> - 4x^2y ) </span>+ 2xy^2
= ( </span><span>6x^2y ) + </span><span>2xy^2
= </span><span>6x^2y </span><span><span>+ <span>2xy^2 is the sum of the polynomial</span></span> </span>
