Which answer is the approximate standard deviation of the data set?

Mathematics

Answer:

3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation of a population is defined as:

σ² = ∑(xᵢ − μ)² / n

The standard deviation of a sample is defined as:

s² = ∑(xᵢ − x)² / (n - 1)

It's not clear which one we have, so let's calculate both.

First, we must find the mean.

μ = (5+12+15+10+12+6+8+8) / 8

μ = 9.5

Now we find the squares of the differences:

(5-9.5)² + (12-9.5)² + (15-9.5)² + (10-9.5)² + (12-9.5)² + (6-9.5)² + (8-9.5)² + (8-9.5)²

= 80

Divide by n:

σ² = 80 / 8

σ² = 10

And take the square root:

σ = √10

σ ≈ 3.2

That's not one of the answers, so let's try the standard deviation of a sample instead of a population.

Instead of dividing by n, we'll divide by n-1:

s² = 80 / 7

And take the square root:

s = √(80/7)

s ≈ 3.4

So that must be it.

It looks as though there are 25 21-40 year-olds. 40% of 25 is 10, this is the amount that are AGAINST the increase. Therefore the ones in favor for the increase must be 25 - 10 = 15. 

You should be able to follow the same process to get the 41-60 year-olds against an increase. Just be sure to read the given information carefully

The number of bacteria on a piece of toast triples every
Illusion [34]

Answer:

You begin with 1 bacteria, and after 1 hour it has tripled so you now have 1 x 3=3.

Next hour, it triples again so you now have 1 x 3 x 3=9

You can see the pattern shows that the number of bacteria is multiplying every hour by a factor of 3. An exponent denotes how many times we are multiplying a number by itself, for example: 34 means we are multiplying the number 3 a total of 4 times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3).

Therefore the question is requiring us to triple the number of bacteria every hour for 24 hours, which means we are multiplying by 3 a total of 24 times. This gives us:

n x 324 where n is the number of bacteria you begin with.

Since you begin with 1 bacteria, the solution is 1 x 3 to the power 24 and u will get ur answer
