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

All real numbers

7w-(2+w) = 2(3w-1)

Expand

7w-(2+w)= 6w-2

7w-2-w=6w-2

Group like terms

6w-2=6w-2

Add 2 to both sides

6w=6w

subtract 6w from both sides

0=0

True for all w

What is the height of a rectangular prism that has a volume of 280 cubic meters,a length of 8 meters, and a width of 7 meters? S
lyudmila [28]
When looking at a rectangular prism, we know that Volume = length * width * height

If we are given that the volume of the prism is 280 cubic meters (m^3), the length is 8 meters, and the width is 7 meters, we can fill in our equation.

280 = 8 * 7 * height
280 = 56 * height

Because we are solving for the height, we divide both sides by 56

280/56 = height

height = 5 meters

(1,-4) x-2y=8<br> 4x-y=8
deff fn [24]

Answer:

False solution; [1⅐, -3 3⁄7]

Step-by-step explanation:

{x - 2y = 8

{4x - y = 8

-¼[4x - y = 8]

{x - 2y = 8

{-x + ¼y = -2 >> New Equation

____________

-1¾y = 6

y = -3 3⁄7 [Plug this back into both equations to get the x-coordinate of 1⅐]; 1⅐ = x

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
