Answer:

For this distribution of test scores, the standard deviation is equal to the square root of 9

D) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to know the standard deviation formula:

S=\sqrt{\frac{sum(x-Am)^2}{n-1} } (1)

Where:

S: Standard deviation

sum: Summation

x: Sample values

Am: Arithmetic mean

n:   Number of terms, in this case 3

Now, we need to know the arithmetic mean of the sample values: 2, 5 and 8

Am=\frac{2+5+8}{3} = 5

To know the standard deviation we need to have the summation of each term minus the arithmetic mean squared.

(x-Am)^2 of each term:

(2-5)^2=9\\(5-5)^2=0\\(8-5)^2=9

Now, we can find the standard deviation:

S=\sqrt{\frac{9+0+9}{3-1} } \\S=\sqrt{\frac{18}{2} } \\S=\sqrt{9}

The standard deviation is equal to the square root of 9

Answer:

D) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Deviation is Calculated by formula:  

Standard deviation(\sigma) = Standard deviation(\sigma) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{(x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}} }

where, \bar{x} is mean of the distribution.

First: Calculating Mean of 2, 5 and 8:

\text{Mean}(\bar x)=\frac{2+5+8}{3} = 5

Then Standard deviation is:

Standard deviation(\sigma) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{3-1}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{(x_{i}-5)^{2}} }

⇒ \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}[{(2-5)^{2}}+{(5-5)^{2}}+{(8-5)^{2}} } =\sqrt 9

The graph shown below expresses a radical function that can be written in the form f(x)= a(x + k)^1/n +C. What does the graph te
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

  C.  <em>c</em> is less than zero

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent radical function y=x^(1/n) has its point of inflection at the origin. The graph shows that point of inflection has been translated left and down.

<h3>Function transformation</h3>

The transformation of the parent function y=x^(1/n) into the function ...

  f(x) = a(x +k)^(1/n) +c

represents the following transformations:

  • vertical scaling by a factor of 'a'
  • left shift by k units
  • up shift by c units

<h3>Application</h3>

The location of the inflection point at (-3, -4) indicates it has been shifted left 3 units, and down 4 units. In the transformed function equation, this means ...

  • k = 3
  • c = -4

The graph says the value of c is less than zero.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Apparently, the value of 'a' is 2, and the value of n is 3. The equation of the graph seems to be ...

  f(x) = 2(x +3)^(1/3) -4

If the ceos salary of 1,000,000 is taken out of the list what I would happen to the mean and median 25,25,25,35,35,45,45,55,55
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Both the mean and median decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Median (without 1,000,000):

<em>25, 25, 25, 35</em>, 35,<em> 45, 45, 55, 55</em>

= 35

Median (with 1,000,000):

<em>25, 25, 25, 35</em>, 35, 45, <em>45, 55, 55, 1,000,000</em>

= average of 35 and 45

= 40

As you can see, without the outlier, the value of the median decreases.

Mean (without 1,000,000):

= (25 + 25 + 25 + 35 + 35 + 45 + 45 + 55 + 55) / 9

= 38.3

Mean (with 1,000,000):

= (25 + 25 + 25 + 35 + 35 + 45 + 45 + 55 + 55 + 1,000,000) / 10

= 100,0034.5

As you can see, without the outlier, the value of the mean dramatically decreases.
