Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information:
Σ(x − M) = 44
where, M is mean.
Sample size = 12
The computational formula for sample variance is

where, M is sample mean and N is sample size.
Substitute Σ(x − M) = 44 and N=12 in the above formula.



The sample variance is 4.0.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
This is what I got I dont know if It should be an equation but that's all i can get to, gl
Well a percentage is basically a decimal. If we take the 20 and times it by 5,we can get a 100th of a decimal, 15/100= 0.15. Now we just change it to a percentage! 15%
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Although the numbers given are negative, we can see that by the lines surrounding them, it is asking for their absolute value. Since absolute values are always positive, the correct answer would be B.
Turn the information into coordinate points.
Point = (time, population)
Point 1 = (1985, 45000)
Point 2 = (2004 , 26000)
Find the slope between these points using the formula
( Slope)—> m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
26000-45000/2004-1985=-19000/19= -1000
Average rate of change is decrease of 1000 sea lion per year
I hope that helped
