Answer: 2.76 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the standard deviation:-

\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n}}

The given data values : 560 g, 562 g, 556 g, 558 g, 560 g, 556 g, 559 g, 561 g, 565 g, 563 g.

Then,  \overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^{10} x_i}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{560+562+556+558+560+556+559+561+565+563}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{5600}{10}=560

Now, \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=0^2+2^2+(-4)^2+(-2)^2+0^2+(-4)^2+(-1)^2+1^2+5^2+3^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=76

Then, \sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{76}{10}}=\sqrt{7.6}=2.76

Hence, the  standard deviation of his measurements = 2.76 g

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope 3/2 that contains the point (-1 2)
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The point-slope form of this equation is y - 2 = 3/2(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to any equation in point slope form, start with the base form of the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now input the slope for m and the point at (x1, y1)

y - 2 = 3/2(x + 1)

The municipal swimming pool in Nicetown has three different ways of paying for individual open swimming. Todd is trying to decid
balandron [24]
Sllope intercept form is y=mx+b
m is the slope , b is the y itnercept

so early pay
cost=70 flat rate
x=infinity
the equation would be y=70

deposit pluss
you have to pay an initial one time payment of 15 so
y=mx+15
then 4 dollars per day
4 times number of days
y=4x+15

daily pay is 6 dollars per day so 6 times number of days
y=6x



1.
a. y=70
b. y=4x+15
c. y=4x

Describe the transformations of the following function. y=tan(2x-π)
Romashka [77]

Answer:

To quickly solve this problem, we can use a graphing tool or a calculator to plot the equation.

Please see the attached image below, to find more information about the graph

The equation is:

y = tan(2x - π)

y = tan (2*(x-π/2))

We can compare it to its parent function

g(x) = tan(x)

The answer is

Option a.

Horizontal shrink by 1/2 and horizontal shift of π/2 to the right
