Solution: The correct option is d. 8.75

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula for variance is:

Variance =\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^{2}}{n}

First we need to find the mean \bar{x} of the given data:

\bar{x}=\frac{2+4+6+0+1+10+9+0+6+3+6+8+5+4+6+2}{16}=\frac{72}{16} =4.5

Now let's find \sum(x-\bar{x})^{2}, please have a look at the attached picture:

\therefore Variance = \frac{140}{16}=8.75

–2z − 7 need this done now
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

the value of the z is -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, the following information is given

-2z - 7

Based on the above information

We assume that we have to determine the z value

so

-2z - 7 = 0

-2z = 7

z = 7 ÷ -2

= -3.5

Hence, the value of the z is -3.5

The same is to be considered and relevant too
