20 - 21 - 10 + 5x +1= 0
5x = 10
x = 2
Answer:
j = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
"Is" typically means equals. "More than" means it is added to.
So 15 equals j with 9 added to it.
15 = 9 + j
Now solve for j by subtracting 9 from both sides.
15 - 9 = j
j = 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given are 3 data sets with values as:
(i) 8 9 10 11 12 ... Mean =10
(ii) 7 9 10 11 13 ... Mean =10
(iii) 7 8 10 12 13 ... Mean =10
We see that data set shows mean deviations as
(i) -2 -1 0 1 2
(ii) -3 -1 0 1 3
(iii) -3 -2 0 2 3
Since variance is the square of std deviation, we find that std deviation is larger when variance is larger.
Variance is the sum of squares of (x-mean). Whenever x-mean increases variance increases and also std deviation.
Hence we find that without calculations also (i) has least std dev followed by (ii) and then (iii)
(i) (ii) (iii) is the order.
b) Between (i) and (ii) we find that 3 entries are the same and 2 entries differ thus increasing square by 9-4 twice. But between (ii) and (iii) we find that
increase in square value would be 4-1 twice. Obviously the latter is less.
