If it is isosceles, than the legs are the same. We will call them X. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 (base * height). But the base and the height are both X. So the area (18) is equal to 1/2 (x * x), or 1/2(x^2). This means that 36 = x^2. Thus, the length of each side is 6 inches. You can check this work by plugging those into the formula for area. You will find that it equals 18.

The formula for the standard deviation of a sample is:
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

d. The variance is 9.56 and the standard deviation is 3.09.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are given the following data set.

3, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 10, 10, 13, 14

a) Mean = 3 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 13 + 14/ 10

= 90/10

= 9

b) Variance

The formula for sample Variance = (Mean - x)²/ n - 1

Mean = 9

n = 10

Sample Variance =

(3 - 9)² + (7 - 9)² + (8 - 9)² + (8 - 9)² + (8 - 9)² + (9 - 9)² + (10 - 9)² + (10 - 9)² + (13 - 9)² + (14 - 9)² / 10 - 1

= 36 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 16 + 25/9

= 86/9

= 9.555555556

≈ Approximately 9.56

Variance = 9.56

Sample Standard deviation = √Sample Variance

= √9.56

= 3.0919249667

≈ Approximately 3.09
