The researcher originally reported a standard deviation of 12.3 grams. However, upon closer investigation, she discovered that h

er scale was 1.1 grams off, and that each fish was actually 1.1 grams heavier than originally reported. What is the new standard deviation?

Answer:

12.3 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

When a constant value is added to each data element in a distribution, the maen changes by that constant but the standard deviation stays the same. This is because the standard deviation is a measure of how distant the data are from the mean. When a constant value is added to each of them, the mean also gets the increment. Hence, the distance from the mean is maintained.

However, if the data were multiplied by a constant factor, then the standard deviation will be multiplied by the same factor as well as the mean.

Therefore, the standard deviation from the question remains the same as before, 12.3 grams.

Let the number be (10 x + y)

Then, 10 x + y = 3 * (x + y) (given)

Or, 10 x + y = 3 x + 3 y

Or, 10 x - 3 x = 3 y - y

Or, 7x = 2 y

Or, x = 2 y / 7 ( Eq. 1)

Also, 10 x + y + 45 = 10 y + x ( given)

Or, 10 x - x = 10 y - y - 45

Or, 9 x = 9 y - 45 ( Eq. 2)

Substituting the value of x from (Eq. 1) in (Eq. 2), we have:

9 * 2 y / 7 = 9 y - 45

Or, (9 y ) - (18 y / 7) = 45

Or, 63 y - 18 y = 315

Or, 45 y = 315

Or, y = 7

From (Eq. 1),

x = 2 * 7 / 7 = 2

So, the number is 10 x + y = (10 * 2) + 7 = (20 + 7) = 27

Answer

Check:

Sum of the digits = 2 + 7 = 9

9 * 3 = 27 ✓

Adding 45 to the number 27, we get 72. So, the digits get reversed.

What is the point slope of an equation with slope of 3/5 that passes through the point (10,-2)
Verdich [7]
The answer would be B. It gives you the slope and a point on the graph so use that to your advantage. All of the answers show the slope and the slope in the right place, so for now it can be any of them. Then we get to the point (10,-2). For point slope form you would switch the signs for both x and y. So the Y would now be +2 and x would be -10. Y goes together with y, and X goes together with x. In this case y+-y= slope(X+-x) Substitute in for them. Y+2=3/5(X-10)
