The <u>correct answer</u> is:

18.

Explanation:

There were 303 people surveyed total.

There were 64 people with brown eyes and black hair; that makes the percentage of the population 64/303 = 21.12% ≈ 21%.

There were 9 people with blue eyes and black hair; that makes the percentage of the population 9/303 = 2.97% ≈ 3%.

This means the percentage of students with brown eyes and black hair was greater than the percentage of students with blue eyes and black hair by:
21-3 = 18%.

The weights (to the nearest pound) of some boxes to be shipped are found to be:. Weight 65 68 69 70 71 72 90 95 frequency 1 2 5
Lena [83]
So the mean is 72.97

We need to subtract the mean from each value and square it.
(65-72.97)^2= 63.5209
(68-72.97)^2=24.7009
(69-72.97)^2=15.7609
(70-72.97)^2=8.8209
(71-72.97)^2= 3.8809
(72-72.97)^2=0.9409
(90-72.97)^2=290.0209
(95-72.97)^2=485.3209

Now we add up the new values ( also consider their frequency) and find their mean.
Add the values
63.5209+(2 •24.7009=49.4018)+(5•15.7609=78.8045)+(8•8.8209=70.5672)+(7•3.8809=27.1663)+(3•0.9409=2.8227)+(2•290.0209=580.0418)+(2•485.3209=970.6418)= 1,842.967
Divide by total numburs to find the mean
1,842.967/ 30=61.43223333

The standar deviation is the square root of the mean so is
Square root of 61.43223333=7.837871735
Round to the nearest tenth
Standard Deviation is 7.8
