I'm trying to pass my performance task and finish high school and I have no idea what it really is asking me to do, rather how t

o do it. A city park commission received a donation of playground equipment from a parents' organization. The area of the playground needs to be 256 square yards for the children to use it safely. The playground will be rectangular. The city will pay to have soft pavement made of recycled tires installed in the playground. In the first plan, one side 8 yards longer than the other side. Which equations model the possible dimensions of the playground? x(x - 8) = 256. (x2) - 8 = 256 x(x + 8) = 256. (x + 4)(x - 4) = 256. x2- 8x - 256 = 0.

A random sample of 10 subjects have weights with a standard deviation of 11.0482 kg. What is the variance of their​ weights? Be
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The variance is 122.0627 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of the standard deviation of a distribution gives us the variance.

If a random sample of 10 subjects have weights with a standard deviation of 11.0482 kg.

Then the standard deviation is

{ \sigma} = 11.0482

To get the variance, we square both sides to get;

{ \sigma}^{2}  = 11.0482^{2}

This implies that,

{ \sigma}^{2}  = 122.0627kg
