Is it possible to obtain a negative value for the variance or the standard deviation?

1 answer:

4 0

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.

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.

Heather finished the 12-kilometer race in 2 hours. If Heather kept her pace constant, what was her rate? A. 24 km/hr. B. 14 km/h

andriy [413]

Answer: D, 6km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heather can finish a 12-kilometer race in 2 hours, and now we have to find how many kilometers she can ride/run at in 1 hour.

How many hours can Heather run in 1 hour? To solve that, we can use the equation 12 ÷ 2.

12 ÷ 2 = 6.

Therefore, if Heather keeps her pace constant, then her rate will be 6km/hr, or D.
