What does standard deviation mean?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]2 years ago

Standard deviation is: It is a measure of how spread out numbers are. It is the square root of the Variance, and the Variance is the average of the squared differences from the Mean.

For example: To find the standard deviation, you have to add up all the numbers in the data set, then divide by how many numbers there are, and that will get you your answer.

Example,  Say your data set is: 9, 2, 5, 4, 12, 7, 8, 11, 9, 3, 7, 4, 12, 5, 4, 10, 9, 6, 9, 4.

The Mean is: 9 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 12 + 7 + 8 + 11 + 9 + 3 + 7 + 4 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 10+ 9 + 6 + 9 + 4. Over 20. That equals: 104 over 20 = 7.

So, the Standard Variance and  Mean is: 7 for this problem.

Hope I helped!

First, let's simplify each expression by combining like terms:

A: 9x-3x-4 = 6x-4

B: 12x-4 = 12x-4 (Already Combined terms)

C: 5x+x-4 = 6x-4

When looking at the list of equations, it is clear that only Expression A and C are equivalent. Brianna failed to combine like terms and plug in more points than 0. 

I Hope this Helps!

In the figure below, points M, P, H, J, and K lie in plane Z.
marishachu [46]

Answers:

  • (a) LN
  • (b) PHJ
  • (c) K
  • (d) HK

===================================================

Explanation:

Part (a)

Lines LN and PN have the point N in common. This is the intersection point.

-----------------

Part (b)

To name a plane, pick any three non-collinear points that are inside it. We cannot pick points H, J, K together because infinitely many planes pass through it. Imagine the piece of flat paper able to rotate around this axis (like a propeller). Having the points not all on the same line guarantees we form exactly one unique plane.

I'll pick the non-collinear points P, H and J to get the name Plane PHJ. Other answers are possible.

------------------

Part (c)

Points H, J and K are collinear as they are on the same line. Pick either H or K to fill out the answer box. I'll go with point K

------------------

Part (d)

Point P and line HK are coplanar. They exist in the same flat plane, or on the same sheet of flat paper together.

We can think of that flat plane as the ground level while something like point N is underground somewhere. So point N and anything on that ground plane wouldn't be coplanar.

Note: there are other possible names for line HK such as line JH or line JK. The order doesn't matter when it comes to naming lines.
