Answer:
Probability: = 0.5 = 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the question one coin is chosen at random and tossed. That coin then lands and is heads. Since the coin landed on heads we can <u>eliminate the possibility</u> of the coin that was chosen being the coin with double tails.
The following possibilities are that the coin has double heads or is a regular coin with both tails and heads. Seeing as the coin landed on heads, there are only two possible out comes for the other side of the coin
The other side is either Heads or Tails. That gives us a 50% chance of the other side being tails.
= 0.5 = 50%

Answer:
The reason why standard deviation of the entire class is greater than standard deviation of males and females considered separately, is that mean values for males and females are different from each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
The concept of mean is well represented by the following formula
mean = , where x1, x2, xn are the observations and N is the number of observations (population).
Standard deviation represents the distance between each observation and the mean of the population (all observations). The formula for this parameter is:
Standard deviation =√[((x1 - x)² + (x2-x)² + ....+ (xn-x)²)/N-1], where x1, x2,..., xn are the observations and x is the mean value.
In this case you have that each height registered is an observation and the number of observations represents the N value. As you can see if the mean for males is different from that of females their standard deviation will be different too. Usually males have heigths greater than that of females (1.77 vs 1.64, in USA for example), and heights inside each group will be more similar than between groups. Then, when you mix all observation there will be an increase in standard deviation, because you are mixing very different heigths
