Answer:
Possible lengths of the silk fibre 'x' are 100, 75, 60, 50 and 30 yards respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the silk fiber = x yards.
Let the number of silk fibres = a.
It is given that the silk fibers between 3 to 10 yards are combined to form a silk thread of 300 yards.
So, we get the equation,
, where 
i.e.
, 
So, the possible values of 'a' are 3, 4, 5, 6 an 10.
Thus, the possible lengths of the silk fibre 'x' are 100, 75, 60, 50 and 30 yards respectively.
SLope = (2 + 2)/(2 + 2) = 4/4 = 1

Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given number = -48
Listing out the possible factors of -48 in pairs along with their difference:
Factors (
) Difference (
) Difference (
)
-26 26
26 -26
-19 19
19 -19
-16 16
16 -16
-14 14
14 -14
On listing out the factors we find out that two of the pairs have difference = 19
The pairs are
and 
It is given that the factor with greater absolute value is positive. This means 16 would be positive while 3 would be negative.
So, our factors are 
The sum of the factors is =

Answer:
--- Standard deviation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for graph
Solving (a): Explain how the standard deviation is calculated.
<u>Start by calculating the mean</u>
To do this, we divide the sum of the products of grade and number of students by the total number of students;
i.e.

So, we have:



Next, calculate the variance using the following formula:

i.e subtract the mean from each dataset; take the squares; add up the squares; then divide the sum by the number of dataset
So, we have:



Lastly, take the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation


--- approximated
<em>Hence, the standard deviation is approximately 11.28</em>
Considering the calculated mean (i.e. 82.76), the standard deviation (i.e. 11.28) is small and this means that the grade of the students are close to the average grade.
