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.

The velocity of a particle moving back and forth on a line is vequalsStartFraction ds Over dt EndFraction equals6 sine (2 t )Sta
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

s = 6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the velocity v is given as:

v = \frac{ds}{dt} = 6 sin(2t) m/s

To find s, we have to integrate and apply the initial values of s = o when t = 0:

\frac{ds}{dt} = 6 sin(2t)\\\\\int\limits^s_0 {ds} = \int\limits^t_0 {6sin(2t)} \, dt\\\\s|^s_o = -3cos(2t)|^t_o\\\\s - 0 = -3cos(2t) -(-3cos(0))\\\\s = -3cos(2t) + 3(1)\\\\s = -3cos(2t) + 3

When t = π/2, s will be:

s = -3cos(2 * π/2) + 3

s = -3cos(π) + 3

s = -3(-1) + 3

s = 3 + 3

s = 6 m

Suppose that the rate of return on stocks is normally dis-tributed with mean of 9% and a standard deviation of 3%. If I pick fiv
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The probability that at least two stocks will have a return of more than 12% is 0.1810.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = rate of return on stocks.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution, N (9, 3²).

Compute the probability that a stock has rate of return more than 12% as follows:

P(X\geq 12)=1-P(X

**Use the <em>z</em> table for the probability.

The probability of a stock having rate of return more than 12% is 0.1587.

Now define a random variable <em>Y</em> as the number of stocks that has rate of return more than 12%.

The sample size of stocks selected is, <em>n</em> = 5.

The random variable <em>Y </em>follows a Binomial distribution.

The probability of a Binomial distribution is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0, 1, 2, ...

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 2) as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

              = 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

              =1-{5\choose 0}(0.1587)^{0}(1-0.1587)^{5-0}-{5\choose 1}(0.1587)^{1}(1-0.1587)^{5-1}\\=1-0.4215-0.3975\\=0.1810

Thus, the probability that at least two stocks will have a return of more than 12% is 0.1810.

Is the system of equations consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent?
ollegr [7]

Answer: Consistent and independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system of equations:

y = 4x - 4

y = -4x + 4.

Now, first let's define the terms used in the question.

consistent and independent: we have only one solution.

consistent and dependent: we have infinite solutions.

inconsistent: we do not have solutions.

Now, let's look at the system:

y = 4x - 4

y = -4x + 4.

Let's take the quotient between both the equations:

(y/y) = (4x - 4)/(-4x + 4)

1 = (4x - 4)/(-4x + 4)

let's see if we can solve this for x.

1*(-4x + 4) = 4x - 4

-4*x + 4 = 4x - 4

-4x - 4x = -4 - 4

-8*x = -8

x = -8/-8 = 1.

and to find the value of y, we can input this value of x in one of the equations:

y = 4*1 - 4 = 0.

Then we have only one solution, (1, 0).

(and will be the same if you input x in the other equation, as the right side is minus the right side of the first equation)

Then the system is consistent and independent.
