Standard deviation is the square root of the variance, which is the average squared deviation from the mean and as an average of some squared numbers it can't be negative<span>. 

</span><span>The smallest value variance can reach is zero. This is when all the numbers in the data set are the same, therefore all the deviations from the mean are zero, all squared deviations are zero and their average is also zero.</span>

Two classes have a total of 50 students. One of the classes has 6 more students than the other. How many students are in the lar
Talja [164]
To solve this problem, simply use one variable to represent the number of students in each of the 2 classes.

1st class - X = no of students
2nd class - X + 6 no of students

Both classes : X + X + 6 = 50
2X + 6 = 50
2X = 44
X = 22.

1st class - X = 22 students
2nd class - X + 6 = 22 + 6 = 28 students.

There are 28 students in the larger class.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!
Natalka [10]
Volume of a cylinder= (height) x area of the base (circle)

We know the height = 160 cm (given), let's find the radius of the base.

The circumference of the base = 87.92 = 2πR==> R=87.92/(2π) =13.993 cm

Area of circle = πR²=π(13.993)² = 615.128 cm²

Hence the volume of the cylinder = 615.128 x 160 = 92,420.48 cm³

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to 3x-5y=7 and passes through the point (-10,8)
Goryan [66]

Answer:

5y - 3x = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line has equation:

3x-5y=7

We need to determine the slope of this line, so we rewrite in slope intercept form.

y =  \frac{3}{5}x -  \frac{7}{5}

The slope of this line , when we compare to y=mx+c is

m =  \frac{3}{5}

All parallel lines have the same slope.

Hence our line also has the same slope

This line passes through (-10,8).

The equation is given by:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We substitute the slope and point to get:

y - 8 =  \frac{3}{5}(x -  - 10)

We expand to get:

y - 8 =  \frac{3}{5}x  + 6

y =  \frac{3}{5}x  + 14

5y - 3x = 70
