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

point slope form means (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

so u need to find the slope gradient from those 2 points

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

=-6-6/11-7

=-12/4

=-3

and finally x1,y1=7,6

(y-y1) =m(x-x1)

(y-6) =-3(x-7)

Solve the equation by completing the square. 0=4x^2-72x
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to make sure that the leading coefficient is a 1.  Ours is a 4, so we need to factor it out, leaving us with

4(x^2-18x)=0

To complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, then add it to both sides.  But don't forget about that 4 hanging around out front, refusing to be ignored.  Our linear term is 18.  Half of 18 is 9, and 9 squared is 81.  Add 81 into the parenthesis, but what we REALLY added in was 4*81 which is 324:

4(x^2-18x+81)=324

To solve this, we need to get the x terms all by themselves.  So let's divide both sides by 4 to get

x^2-18x+81=81

The process of completing the square created a perfect square binomial on the left.  We will state this binomial now:

(x-9)^2=81

We isolate the x term by taking the square root of both sides:

x - 9 = ±9

From that we have 2 equations:

x - 9 = 9 and x - 9 = -9

Which means that x = 18 or x = 0
