Where are "the following choices?" Please don't overlook sharing this info with possible helpers. Thank you.

This kind of assignment can be one on a calculator; I typed in stdDev(17,18,19,20,21) an got std dev= 1.58.

working backward, the variance is the square of that: 2.5.

To find the variance: Find the mean of the given set of numbers. It is

17+18+19+20+21 95
------------------------- = ----- = 19
5 5

and then calculate the deviations of all 5 numbers from the mean:

17-19=-2
18-19= -1
19-19=0
20-19 = 1
21-19=2

Then sum up the squares of these: 4+1+0+1+4 = 10
Finally, divide this result by 5-1 (one less than the # of data points):

10
------- = 2.50 (variance)
(5-1)

Which statement is true about the end behavior of the function represented by the graph?

Zepler [3.9K]

End behavior always involves x approaching positive and negative infinity. So we'll cross off the choice that says "x approaches 1".

The graphs shows both endpoints going down forever. So both endpoints are going to negative infinity regardless if x goes to either infinity.

<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3><h3>As x approaches −∞, f(x) approaches −∞, and as x approaches ∞, f(x) approaches −∞.</h3>

Another way to phrase this would be to say "f(x) approaches negative infinity when x goes to either positive or negative infinity"

Okay so this took some time but

you need 1 more cup.

in each cookie there is 1/9th of a cup so to make 45 cookies you need 1 more cup. WE COULD BE COMPLETELY WRONG

What is the measure of the missing angle?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Since a triangles total angle is 180°, to find the answer you would subtract the 2 angles you are given from 180. 180-56-36= 88°, this being your answer.

the numbers of girls in the choir is 4 times the number of boys in the choir .the total number of students is 60..how many girls

Inessa05 [86]

First, make up some variables to represent the number of Girls and Boys in the choir.

B = number of boys
G = number of girls

You know that there are 4 times as many girls in the choir as boys. Therefore, the equation you can write is:
$\frac{B}{G} = \frac{1}{4}$

If you cross-multiply, then you get the simplified equation:
G = 4B

Intuitively this makes sense since if you multiplied the number of boys in the class by 4, that would be equal to the number of girls you have.

Now, we know that the total class size is 60. So girls plus boys equals 60:
G+B = 60

To solve the equation, replace the G in this equation with the replacement you found before, 4B.
G + B = 60 -->
4B + B = 60 -->
5B = 60 -->
B = 12

However, you are trying to find the number of girls, so plug the answer back into your equation.
G + B = 60 -->
G + 12 = 60 -->
G + 12 -12 = 60 - 12 -->
G = 48

The number of girls you have is 48.
