<h3>Answer: Choice A)  sqrt(2)</h3>

==========================================

Explanation:

Add up all of the values

13.3+14.3+15.3+16.3+17.3 = 76.5

Then divide by 5 as there are n = 5 values in the set given

76.5/5 = 15.3

The mean of this data set is 15.3

-------------

Subtract the mean from each value to get this list of differences

x1 - mean = 13.3 - 15.3 = -2

x2 - mean = 14.3 - 15.3 = -1

x3 - mean = 15.3 - 15.3 = 0

x4 - mean = 16.3 - 15.3 = 1

x5 - mean = 17.3 - 15.3 = 2

-------------

Square each result from the previous section

(-2)^2 = 4

(-1)^2 = 1

(0)^2 = 0

(1)^2 = 1

(2)^2 = 4

Then add up those results

4+1+0+1+4 = 10

This is the sum of the squared differences.

------------

Divide the sum of the squared differences by n = 5 to get 10/5 = 2

The population variance is 2

The population standard deviation is the square root of this, so we get sqrt(2) as our final answer.

------------

Side note: This data set was fairly small, so computing the standard deviation by hand wasnt too painful. When it comes to larger data sets, it is smarter to use a spreadsheet program to easily calculate the answer. The drawback is that you wont be able to get an exact answer in terms of radicals (then again you could always use a CAS, which stands for "computer algebra system").

Answer:

Andre's Method is the only one that works

Step-by-step explanation:

Noah's method won't work because he doesn't follow the order of operations. You can pull the the 9 out first you have to distribute the 2 first.

Elena's method doesn't work because to eliminate the 18 you must use the reverse operation it must be added not subtracted.

Andre's Method is the only one that works

Simplify the following Expression by combining like terms:<br> y+ 3x + 4y + 2x + 3y + 3x
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

8x+8y

Step-by-step explanation:

y + 3x + 4y + 2x + 3y +3x

<em>With</em><em> </em><em>this</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>group</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>and </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>ascending</em><em> </em><em>order</em><em> </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>comes</em><em> </em><em>before</em><em> </em><em>y</em>

3x+2x+3x

And the y with y

y+4y+3y

Which is;

3x+2x+3x+y+4y+3y

8x+8y
