<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").

Dilate the given points distance from the origin (x,y) (0.8x, 0.8y) . The point (-10,-20) becomes &amp; point (15,25) become
dalvyx [7]

Answer: The point (-10,-20) becomes (-8,-16) & point (15,25) becomes (12,20).

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point (x,y) is dilated by a scale factor k from the origin, then the new points become

(kx,ky).

The given rule of dilation : (x,y) →(0.8x, 0.8y)

The first point is (-10,-20), so its image will be

(-10,-20)\to (0.8\times-10,0.8\times-20)=(-8,-16)

So, the point (-10,-20)  becomes (-8,-16).

The second point is (15,25), so its image will be

(15,25)\to (0.8\times15,0.8\times25)=(12,20)

So, the point (15,25) becomes (12,20).

Hence, the point (-10,-20) becomes (-8,-16) & point (15,25) becomes (12,20).

10 to the 6th power multiplied by what equals 10 to the 18th power
m_a_m_a [10]
 
You're asking

            (10⁶) times (10^p) = 10¹⁸ .

When you multiply two numbers that have the same base
but different exponents, you just add the exponents.

So                                         6 + p = 18

Subtract 6 from each side:          p = 12 .

                 10⁶  x  10¹²  =  10¹⁸ .
