We have that

set of data [<span>8, 12, 15, 17, 18]

step 1
Find the mean
</span>[8+ 12 + 15 + 17 + 18]/5-------> 70/5------> 14

step 2
 for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result
(8-14)²----->36
(12-14)²----> 4
(15-14)²----> 1
(17-14)²----> 9
(18-14)²----> 16

step 3
<span> work out the mean of those squared differences
[36+4+1+9+16]/5-----> 66/5-----> 13.2----> </span><span>this value is called the "Variance"

step 4
</span><span>Take the square root of that
</span>standard desviation=√13.2-----> 3.63-------> 4

the answer is
4

Answer:

We know that the equation of the circle in standard form is equal to <em>(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²</em> where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.

We have x² + y² + 8x + 22y + 37 = 0, let's get to the standard form :

1 - We first group terms with the same variable :

(x²+8x) + (y²+22y) + 37 = 0

2 - We then move the constant to the opposite side of the equation (don't forget to change the sign !)

(x²+8x) + (y²+22y) = - 37

3 - Do you recall the quadratic identities ? (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b². Now that's what we are trying to find. We call this process <u><em>"completing the square"</em></u>.

x²+8x = (x²+8x + 4²) - 4² = (x+4)² - 4²

y²+22y = (y²+22y+11²)-11² = (y+11)²-11²

4 - We plug the new values inside our equation :

(x+4)² - 4² + (y+22)² - 11² = -37

(x+4)² + (y+22)² = -37+4²+11²

(x+4)²+(y+22)² = 100

5 - We re-write in standard form :

(x-(-4)²)² + (y - (-22))² = 10²

And now it is easy to identify h and k, h = -4 and k = - 22 and the radius r equal 10. You can now complete the sentence :)

Journalists try to use shorter or simpler words in their news stories whenever possible. The box below shows the number of lette
kap26 [50]

The mean, median number and the the outlier of the number of letters in the box is 5, 4.5 and no outlier respectively.

The complete question:

A box contains the numbers 9, 2, 2, 11, 1, 8, 8, 2, 6, 1, 7, 3.

<h3>How to find mean, median and outlier</h3>

  • Mean = Addition of all numbers ÷ number of digits

= (9 + 2 + 2 + 11 + 1 + 8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 1 + 7 + 3) ÷ 12

= 60 ÷ 12

= 5

  • Median = The middle value arranged in ascending or descending order.

In ascending order; 1,1,2,2,2,3,6,7,8,8,9,11

  • There are two middle number; 6 and 3

Median = (6 + 3) / 2

= 9/2

= 4.5

  • There is no outlier

What should be done so that the expression will have a value of 10?<br><br> 12 - 2 + 2 2 ÷ 8
Liula [17]
Answer: 10
use (PEMDAS)
P parentheses ()
E exponents
M multiplication • , () , x
D division
A addition +
S subtraction -
Explanation:
There are no parentheses.
There are exponents.
The multiplication is the exponents.
There is division.
There is addition and subtraction.
-how to solve-
First, do 2 to the second power and get 4.
Next, do 12-2+4 divided by 8.
Next do multiplication: there’s no more.
Next do division: you can’t do 4 divided by 8 so instead, do 12-2 = 10 plus 8.
Hope this helps!
