1. Using the exponent rule (a^b)·(a^c) = a^(b+c) ...

\left(-2x^3y^4\right)\left(5x^9y^{-2}\right)=(-2)(5)\left(x^{(3+9)}y^{(4-2)}\right)\\\\=-10x^{12}y^{2}

Simplify. Write in Scientific Notation

2. You know that 256 = 2.56·100 = 2.56·10². After that, we use the same rule for exponents as above.

8 \left(32\times 10^{11}\right)=(8)(32)\times 10^{11}=256\times 10^{11}=2.56\times 10^{13}

3. The distributive property is useful for this.

(3x – 1)(5x + 4) = (3x)(5x + 4) – 1(5x + 4)

... = 15x² +12x – 5x –4

... = 15x² +7x -4

4. Look for factors of 8·(-3) = -24 that add to give 2, the x-coefficient.

-24 = -1×24 = -2×12 = -3×8 = -4×6

The last pair of factors adds to give 2. Now we can write

... (8x -4)(8x +6)/8 . . . . . where each of the instances of 8 is an instance of the coefficient of x² in the original expression. Factoring 4 from the first factor and 2 from the second factor gives

... (2x -1)(4x +3) . . . . . the factorization you require

Which answer is the approximate standard deviation of the data set?
Anna35 [415]

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.
