Given that normally distributed data set has a mean of 55 and 99.7% of data fall between 47.5 and 62.5.

Let s be the standard deviation of data set.

Since 99.7% data fall within 3 standard deviations of mean, z-value for 47.5 and 62.5 has an absolute value of 3.

That is |z|=3

But z= \frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}

Let us plugin x=47.5 and mean =55 and equate it to 3.

That is |\frac{47.5-55}{s}|  = 3

             |\frac{-7.5}{s} | =3

Since x is always positive ( being standard deviation), |\frac{-7.5}{s} | = \frac{|-7.5|}{s} = \frac{7.5}{s}

Hence  \frac{7.5}{s}= 3

             s=\frac{7.5}{3}  = 2.5

We will get same value with 62.5 as well.

Hence standard deviation of data set is 2.5.

svp [43]

Answer:

Option A - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are 3 red chips and 2 blue chips. If they form a certain color pattern when arranged in a row, for example RBRRB.

To find : How many color patterns are possible?

Solution :

Total number of chips = 5

So, 5 chips can be arranged in 5! ways.

There are 3 red chips and 2 blue chips.

So, choosing 3 red chips in 3! ways

and choosing 2 blue chips in 2! ways.

As changing the places of similar chip will not create new pattern.

The total pattern is given by,

T=\frac{5!}{3!\times 2!}

T=\frac{5\times 4\times 3!}{3!\times 2}

T=10

Therefore, color patterns are possible are 10.

Option A is correct.

A/ab-bsquare + b/ab-asquare?​
lord [1]

Answer:

\dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

\dfrac{a}{ab-b^2}+\dfrac{b}{ab-a^2}

It can be solved as follows :

\dfrac{a}{ab-b^2}+\dfrac{b}{ab-a^2}=\dfrac{a}{b(a-b)}+\dfrac{b}{a(b-a)}\\\\=\dfrac{a}{b(a-b)}+\dfrac{b}{-a(-b+a)}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{a-b}(\dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{b}{a})\\\\=\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{ab(a-b)}\\\\=\dfrac{(a-b)(a+b)}{ab(a-b)}\\\\=\dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}

So, the solution of the given expression is equal to \dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}.
