A. Create a set of 5 points that are very close together and record the standard deviation. Next, add a sixth point that is far

away from the original 5 and record the new standard deviation. What is the impact of the new point on the standard deviation?

Answer: The addition of the new point alters the previous standard deviation greatly

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial five points be : 2 3 4 5 and 6. In order to calculate the standard deviation for this data, we will need to calculate the mean first.

Mean = summation of scores/number of scores.

The mean is therefore: (2+3+4+5+6)/5 = 20/5 = 4.

We'll also need the sum of the squares of the deviations of the mean from all the scores.

Since mean = 4, deviation of the mean from the score "2" = score(2) - mean (4)

For score 3, it is -1

For 4, it's 0

For 5 it's 1

For 6 it's 2.

The squares for -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 respectively will be 4, 1 , 0, 1, 4. Summing them up we have 10 i.e (4+1+0+1+4=10).

Calculating the standard deviation, we apply the formula:

√(summation of (x - deviation of mean)^2)/N

Where N means the number of scores.

The standard deviation = √(10/5) = 1.4142

If we add another score or point that is far away from the original points, say 40, what happens to the standard deviation. Let's calculate to find out.

i.e we now have scores: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 40

We calculate by undergoing same steps.

Firstly mean. The new mean = (2+3+4+5+6+40)/6 = 60/6 = 10.

The mean deviations for the scores : 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 40 are -8, -7, -6, -5, -4 and 30 respectively. The squares of these deviations are also 64, 49, 36, 25, 16 and 900 respectively as well. Their sum will then be 1090. i.e. (64+49+36+25+16+900 = 1090).

The new standard deviation is then=

√(1090/6)

= √181.67

= 13.478.

It's clear that the addition of a point that's far away from the original points greatly alters the size of the standard deviation as seen /witnessed in this particular instance where the standard deviation rises from 1.412 to 13.478

Find the measure of angle C of a triangle ABC, if: m∠A = ∝, m∠B = 2∝
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The measure of ∠ C is 180°-3∝

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a ΔABC

∠A = ∝

∠B = 2∝

Angle sum property of triangle : The sum of all angles of triangle is 180° is called angle sum property of triangle

So, ∠A+∠B+∠C=180°

∝+2∝+∠C=180°

3∝+∠C=180°

∠C=180°-3∝

Hence the measure of ∠ C is 180°-3∝

For every 15 minutes of a show, there are two minutes to commercial. At this rate, if leila has seen 45 minutes of a show, how m
Ainat [17]

Answer:

51 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that for every 15 minutes of a show, there are two minutes to commercial. At this rate, Leila has seen 45 minutes of a show. We are asked to find the time for which Leila has been watching TV.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{\text{Minutes of TV show}}=\frac{15+2}{15}

\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{\text{Minutes of TV show}}=\frac{17}{15}  

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{45}=\frac{17}{15}

\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{45}\times 45=\frac{17}{15}\times 45

\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}=\frac{17}{1}\times 3

\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}=51

Therefore, Leila has been watching TV together for 51 minutes.
