Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is
7.9306Using the formula in the attached:
Where: xi = sample value; μ = sample mean; n = sample size
1.) Calculate the mean first:
μ = 12.0 + 18.3 + 29.6 + 14.3 + 27.8 / 5
= 102 / 5
μ = 20.4
2.) Using the mean, calculate (xi - μ)² for each value:
(12.0 - 20.4)² = 70.56
(18.3 - 20.4)² = 4.41
(29.6 - 20.4)² = 84.64
(14.3 - 20.4)² = 37.21
(27.8 - 20.4)² = 54.76
3.) Sum the squared differences and divide by n - 1.
μ = 70.56 + 4.41 + 84.64 + 37.21 + 54.76
= 251.58 / 5-1
μ =
62.895 (this is now called sample variance)
4.) Get the square root of the sample variance:
√62.895 =
7.9306
It is helpful to write them in different ways
some ways to write them are
1.fractions
2.decimals
3.squareroots (if applicable)
so it would be more helpful in an equation to leave 6/7 in fractional form if you are going to manipulate it more, because 0.857142857142... is much harder to keep track of than 6/7
and sometimes, they want a percent which is easier to convert to from decimal form than from fractinoal form so ex 0.857142857142...=85.7% vs 6/7 to percent
sometimes there will be square roots and they are easier if left like that ex
√2=1.4142135623...
it would be easier to leav it in square root
it depends on the equation you are trying to solve, because different forms have different pros and cons, some are easier to work with in a certain form but not in another, sometimes, you will need to change between multipule forms during the same problem
C - 10 = g
L - 5 = C
g = 5
