The mean and standard deviation for the set of data will be 16 and 5.87. Then the correct option is A.

<h3>What is a standard deviation?</h3>

It is the measure of the dispersion of statistical data. Dispersion is the extent to which the value is in a variation.

The set of data is given below.

16, 22, 8, 5, 20, 18, 14, 17, 24

The mean of the data set will be

μ = (16 + 22 + 8 + 5 + 20 + 18 + 14 + 17 + 24) / 9

μ = 144 / 9

μ = 16

Then the standard deviation of the data set will be

$\rm \sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\Sigma (x_i - \mu)^2}{n}} \\\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{(16 - 16)^2 +(22 - 16)^2 + (8-16)^2 + ......+(24-16)^2 }{9}} \\\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{310}{9}}\\$

Simplify the expression further, then we have

σ = √34.44

σ = 5.87

The mean and standard deviation for the set of data will be 16 and 5.87.

Then the correct option is A.

you would multiply 10 x -12 by distributing the 10 into the parenthesis.

The answer would be negative because a postive times a negative is a negative.

The answer is -120

In how many ways can we put five identical fruits into three bowls? Note that the bowls may be empty. The answer is not 243.

lord [1]

Answer:

6 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to solve for this is to use the formula

Combination C (n-1, r-1)

= n = 5 identical fruits

r = 3 bowls

So, we have: 5 - 1 = 4

3 - 1 = 2

= 4!/2! (4-2)!

= 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/(2 × 1 )(2 × 1)

= 6 ways

f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d In the polynomial above, a, b, c, and d are constants. If f(–5) = 3, which of the following must be

What is an Equations?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions on either side of an equals (=) sign. It illustrates the equality between the expressions written on the left and right sides. To determine the value of a variable representing an unknown quantity, equations can be solved. A statement is not an equation if there is no "equal to" symbol in it. It will be regarded as an expression.

we discovered that the polynomial equation is the equation that results from equating a polynomial function to zero. A linear equation results from equating a function to zero if it is a linear polynomial. We get a quadratic equation if the function is a quadratic polynomial.

f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d

In the polynomial above, a, b, c, and d are constants and f(-5)=3.

- 5 is the root of the given polynomial when remainder is 3 so we get the one factor of the given polynomial and that is,

x-(-5)=(x+5)

That is if f(-5)=3 it means that the remainder when f(x) is

divided by (x-(-5))=x+5 is 3

Hence, The remainder when f(x) is divided by x + 5 is 3

the school chorus has 52 students, which represent 26% of the seventh graders. how many student are in the seventh grade?

Alisiya [41]

So the equation would be 52/x (x being the number of total number of 7th graders) and 26/100 (100 being 26% out of 100%).
You do cross multiplying which would be 52/x = 26/100 ------ 5200 = 26x
You divided 26 by both sides.
5200/26=200
There are 200 7th graders total.
