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

Solve for angle A with sides 6,10,9
OLga [1]

Answer:

c = 13.52 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

So for this, lets use the Law of Sines, which says that:

Sin A / a = Sin B / b = Sin C / c

We have everything for this except the the angle measure of angle C. This can be found by doing 180 - 80 - 33, since the total interior angle measure of a triangle always equals 180 degrees.

180 - 80 - 33 = 67 degrees

With this, we can use the angle & side of A/a as well as the angle of C to get the side of c by using the Law of Sines

Sin A / a = Sin C / c

sin 33/8 = sin 67/c

c = 8*sin67 / sin 33

c = 13.52 units.

Vugar has a maximum of 30 batteries for toys. Each toy helicopter uses the same number of batteries, and each toy car uses the s
Leno4ka [110]

Answer: 3H+4C<_ 30

The coefficients of the variables H and C represent the number of batteries each toy helicopter and each toy car uses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each toy helicopter uses 3 batteries, and each toy car uses 4 batteries.

Now let's check whether Vugar has enough batteries for 5 toy helicopters and 4 toy cars. To do this, we substitute  H=5 and C= 4 in the given inequality:

Does Vugar have enough batteries to play with 5 toy helicopters and 4 toy cars?

No, because if you plug in the value for H and C:

3H + 4C<_ 30

3(5) + 4(4) <_30

15 + 16 <_ 30

31 <_ 30; false

Since the inequality is false, Vugar does not have enough batteries to play with 555 toy helicopters and 444 toy cars.

Each toy helicopter uses 333 batteries, and each toy car uses 444 batteries.

No, Vugar does not have enough batteries to play with 555 toy helicopters and 444 toy cars.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

42 x27  //// 1134 is the area

Step-by-step explanation:

1134/ 200= 5.67

You have to round up because you can’t get .67 of a paint bucket So you would have to round it out. <em>About 6 buckets.</em>
