What does standard deviation mean?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago
4 0
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!

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

0.0764

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 33, \sigma = 0.7

What proportion of boxes is underweight (i.e., weigh less than 32 oz)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 32. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{32 - 33}{0.7}

Z = -1.43

Z = -1.43 has a pvalue of 0.0764, which is the correct answr

Find the solution of the system of equations.<br><br>6x+y=30<br><br>−2x−5y=18
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + y = 30

-6x - 15y = 54

-14y = 84

y = -6

6x - 6 = 30

6x = 36

x = 6

(6, -6)

A production manager randomly sampled production lines at a factory that produces automobiles. She wanted to find out how many p
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The confidence interval for the proportion of production lines that caused defects is (0.07, 0.09).

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval for a population proportion is a function of the sample proportion and the margin of error.

The interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

The lower bound is the sample proportion subtracted by the margin of error.

The upper bound is the margin of error added to the sample proportion.

In this problem, we have that:

Sample proportion 0.08

Margin of error 0.01

0.08 - 0.01 = 0.07

0.08 + 0.01 = 0.09

The confidence interval for the proportion of production lines that caused defects is (0.07, 0.09).

Work out the formula for the nth term of the<br>quadratic sequence:<br>5, 11, 19, 29​
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

n squared + 3n + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5,11,19,29

Firstly look at the difference between each number. The first difference is 6 then 8 then 10 etc. After that you look at your created sequence - 6,8,10 etc. The difference is 2 each time. Then applying rules, you have to do the constant difference divided by 2 to get a coefficient of n squared. So in this case it's n squared because 2/2 = 1 so you don't have to place a 1 in front of the n squared. After you create a sequence from the n squared. That would be 1,4,9 etc. Then you need to see how to get from the sequence: 1,4,9 etc to your original sequence: 5,11,19 etc. So if you calculate it you will get 4,7,10 because firstly 5-1 = 4 then 11-4 = 7 etc. The sequence 4,7,10 is a linear sequence so the constant difference is 3 each time. So to get a nth term of a linear sequence you will start off as 3n then you will substitute 1 then 2 then 3 into the 3n. Therefore that would be 3,6 etc. So if you take the first substituted term, that would be 3 as said before then you will have to see how to get from the 3 to 4 so that is just adding 1. So the nth term of this linear sequence is 3n + 1. Check if it works at the end. So the overall nth term of the quadratic sequence is n squared as said before + 3n + 1.
