Let's figure this out as though we have no idea what the answer would be.
Step One
Find the new five numbers.
3*3, 8*3, 12*3, 17*3, 25*3
9 , 24 , 36, 51, 75
Step 2
Find the average
(9 + 24 + 36 + 51 + 75)/5 = 195/5 = 39
Step 3
Subtract the individual numbers from the average
(39 - 9) = 30
(39 -24) = 15
(39 - 36) = 3
(39 - 51) = - 12
(39 - 75) = -36
Step 4
Square the results from Step 3
30^2 = 900
15^2 = 225
3^2 = 9
(-12)^2 = 144
(-36)^2 = 1296
Step 5
Take the average of the results from step 4
(900 + 225 + 9 + 144 + 1296)/5
2574 / 5 = 514.8
Step 6
Take the square root of the result from step 5
deviation = sqrt(514.8)
deviation = 22.689
Step seven
Compare the two standard deviations.
s2/s1 = 22.689 / 7.563 = 3
Conclusion
If you are given 1 set of numbers to find a population standard deviation and you multiply each member by a, then the result will be a * the standard population deviation of the first set of numbers.
Note
Your calculator will do this as well, but you have to know how to enter the data into your calculator. That requires that you follow the directions carefully.
Answer:
a) it has one real solution
Answer:
he is correct he might have seen it's 3 times more than 18-29 which is 10% so he just multiplied 45 with 3
Answer:
It becomes lower
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because as the lowest value becomes larger, <em>one of the values becomes closer to the mean</em>, and as more numbers are closer to the mean, the standard deviation becomes lower.
Answer:
I believe it is C. The square root of 47
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the distance from her house to the pool is about 6 and the square root of 47 is 6.8
