The measure of dispersion that indicates how much scores in a sample vary around the mean of the sample is the standard deviation.

The measure is called STANDARD DEVIATION.
Standard deviation is a mathematical measure that is used to evaluate the difference between the mean value of a set of number and each value in the group. It is calculated as the square root of variance by determining the variation between each data point relative to the mean.

Today there are a total of six toll-free area codes: 800, 844, 855, 866, 877, and 888. Assume that all seven digits for the rest

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$6 \times 10^{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of toll-free area codes = 6

A complete number will be of the form:

800-abc-defg

Where abcdefg can be any 7 numbers from 0 to 9. This holds true for all the 6 area codes.

Finding the possible toll free numbers for one area code and multiplying that by 6 will give use the total number of toll free numbers for all 6 area codes.

Considering: 800-abc-defg

The first number "a" can take any digit from 0 to 9. So there are 10 possibilities for this place. Similarly, the second number can take any digit from 0 to 9, so there are 10 possibilities for this place as well and same goes for all the 7 numbers.

Since, there are 10 possibilities for each of the 7 places, according to the fundamental principle of counting, the total possible toll free numbers for one area code would be:

Possible toll free numbers for 1 area code = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = $10^{7}$
