What does standard deviation mean?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]2 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!

To which subset of real numbers does the number 1/5 belong?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: Option 'B' and 'C' are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that irrational numbers are those real number which cannot be written in \frac{p}{q} form.

Rational numbers are those real numbers which can be written in \frac{p}{q} form.

Inverse property of multiplication is that property in which we write a number in reciprocal form .

Whole numbers starts from 0 and Natural numbers start from 1 and Integers contain both positive and negative numbers.

Hence, \frac{1}{5} belongs to rational numbers sets and inverse property of multiplication sets.

Therefore, Option 'B' and 'C' are correct.

a = -10

8 - b = 9,5

b = 8 - 9,5

b = -1,25

0,1 = -10c

c = 0,1 : -10

c = -0,01

I hope it's helpful.

Convert 26\%26%26, percent to a fraction in simplest form.
Korolek [52]
26 percent?

A percent is a fraction out of a hundred. 5% is 5 out of one hundred, 20% is 20 out of one hundred, etc.

So 26/100 simplified is 13/50.
