Answer:

(A) s^{2}=\frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i}^{n}(x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Variance is the expectation of the squared deviation from the mean of x. Variance of the set of data can be discrete, continuous or mixed.

In order to calculate the variance of the set of the provided data, we need x_{i}= Terms in set of data,

\bar{x}= Sample mean

∑= sum,

n= sample size.

The variance can be calculated as:

s^{2}=\frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i}^{n}(x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}

where s^{2} is the variance and is always measured in squared units.

The correct formula is option (A),since it consists of summation of the square of the difference of the terms in the data and the mean, also variance is the measure of how far is each value in the given data from the mean, which is the correct formulation of the variance.

What makes n true 1/2 (n+4)=6
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: N=8

Step-by-step explanation: So 1/2*4=2 then you know that you need 4 to get to six because you already have two. Then 8/2=4 so N=8.

1/2(8+4)=6

4+2=6

6=6

Toni drives her car 99 mi on the highway on 3 gal of gas. At this rate how many miles can she drive on 11 gal of gas?
Helen [10]

Answer:

333.67 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

She drives her car 91 mi on 3 gal of gas

That’s 91 mi = 3 gal

How many miles can she drive on 11 gal of gas .

Let the mile she can drive by 11 gal of gas be A

At the same rate ,

91 mi = 3 gall

A mi = 11 gal

Cross multiply

A x 3 = 91 x 11

A x 3 = 1001

Divide both sides by 3

A x 3/3 = 1001/3

A = 333.67 miles

At the same rate she’ll drive 333.67 miles on 11 gal of gas
