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)

What value of c makes the polynomial below a perfect square?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 9x

to complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² + 9x

= x² + 2(\frac{9}{2} )x + (\frac{9}{2} )²

= x² + 9x + \frac{81}{4} ← the value of c

= (x + \frac{9}{2} )² ← a perfect square

What is the y intercept of a line that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (2,7)
Tom [10]
Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(2,7)...x = 7 and y = 2
now we sub and fund b, the y int
2 = -3(7) + b
2 = -21 + b
2 + 21 = b
23 = b <== ur y int

Brent is trying to figure out the relationship between the number of times his friends post on social media and their grade poin
andrew11 [14]

The given graph shows the relationship between the social media posts and grade point average of different students in Brent's class.

From the given graph, we can say that the grade point average of students decrease with increase in number of their social media posts.  

Since grade point average decreases approximately linearly with increase in use of social media posts, It is Strong negative correlation.

Hence, option D is correct i.e. Strong Negative Correlation.
