Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

There is a set of 100 observations with a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 0.

standard deviation=0

means that variance=0     (since, variance=square of standard deviation)

now, variance is calculated as sum of the square of deviations of all the data points from the mean

i.e. if x1,x2,...xn are n observations, then

\dfrac{(x1-mean)^2+(x2-mean)^2+...(xn-mean)^2}{n}  is the variance

since variance is zero means that each of (xi-mean)^2 is zero

i.e. xi=mean for each i=1,2,...n

Hence here each of the observation is equal to mean=40

Hence, the value of the smallest observation in the set is:

      40

A standard deviation of 0 means that nothing deviates, in other words all observations are 40. So 40 is the smallest, the largest, all of that!

Y = 6
5y = 5 x y
5y = 5 x 6
5y = 30.
It is C. 30.

List at least two technology tools that can help with calculating future value of an investment. Using complete sentences, expla
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

  • scientific or graphing calculator
  • TVM solver
  • spreadsheet

Step-by-step explanation:

For many future-value calculations, a scientific calculator is a sufficient tool. Of course, one must know the appropriate formula to use.

A good alternative when the calculation is a little messy is a TVM solver or special-purpose financial calculator. I prefer this tool because it requires little more than entering numbers in to the right slots.

Most modern spreadsheet programs and apps come with financial formulas built in. So, they, too, can be easy tools to use for calculating future value. These are especially handy when a number of scenarios need to be explored. (I always have to look up the formulas to see which one is appropriate and what its inputs are. So, I find a spreadsheet less useful for a simple calculation.)

The value of x and the value of y
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

x= 60 y=50

Step-by-step explanation:

First to find x, all the degrees in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. So 50+70+x=180 which is also 120+x=180 which means x=60. Y is the exterior angle of x and a missing angle. Let's substitute the missing angle with the variable z. 60+50+z=180 which is 110+z=180 which means z is 70. So 180-x+z=y. 180-60+70=y which means y is equal to 50. Hope this helps!

The midsegment of a trapezoid is 11 cm in length. If one of the trapezoid's bases is 17 cm long, what is the length of the other
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

x must be 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the area formula for a trapezoid is

A = (average of base lengths)(width)

Here we have

                                                                   17 cm + x

      (average of base lengths) = 11 cm = ----------------

                                                                           2

So 2(11 cm) = 17 cm + x, or

      22 cm = 17 cm + x

Then x must be 5.
