Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A <u>helix</u> is a curve for which the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed line. The shortest path between two points on a cylinder (one not directly above the other) is a fractional turn of a helix, as can be seen by cutting the cylinder along one of its sides, flattening it out, and noting that a straight line connecting the points becomes helical upon re-wrapping (see attached diagram for helix).
The parametrization for the helix is
where is the radius of the helix,
is the constant, and
is the parameter
<h3>Answer: 0.061</h3>
===============================================
Explanation:
Add up the values to get
1.96+1.81+1.97+1.83+1.87+1.84+1.85+1.94+1.96+1.81+1.86+1.95+1.89= 24.54
Then divide over 13 (the number of values) to get 24.54/13 = 1.8876923 which is approximate.
So the mean is approximately 1.8876923
---------------------
Now make a spreadsheet as shown below
We have the first column as the x values, which are the original numbers your teacher provided. The second column is of the form (x-M)^2, where M is the mean we computed earlier. We subtract off the mean and square the result.
After we compute that column of (x-M)^2 values, we add them up to get what is shown in the highlighted yellow cell at the bottom of the column.
That sum is approximately 0.04403076924
Next, we divide that over n-1 = 13-1 = 12
0.04403076924 /12 = 0.00366923077
That is the sample variance. Apply the square root to this to get the sample standard deviation. This is the point estimate of the population standard deviation. As the name implies, it works for samples that estimate population parameters.
sqrt(0.00366923077) = 0.06057417576822
This rounds to 0.061 which is the final answer.
