The correct answer is option 4: $(8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

$8.(\frac{1}{4}.\frac{3}{5})$

The associative property states that for any three terms that are being multiplied, different order of multiplication (i.e. which two terms are multiplied first) will give the same answer.

Let a,b and c be the three terms

then

$a.(b.c) = (a.b).c$

So applying the associative property on given expression

$8.(\frac{1}{4}.\frac{3}{5}) = (8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}$

Hence,

The correct answer is option 4: $(8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}$

A sample with which of these variances has a standard deviation that is greater than the variance?

White raven [17]

Since the standard deviation is the square root of variance. The only times where the standard deviation is greater than the variance is when the variance is between the values 0 and 1 exclusively. For example, the square root of 0.25 is 0.5.

Function help please

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The first table represents a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

For it to be a function, there needs to be 1 unique y value of 1 unique x value.

Looking at 2nd table, we see x value of -5 is mapped to 2 different y values of -5 and 5. So this is not a function.
Looking at 3rd table, we see x value of -2 is mapped to 2 different y values of 2 and 4. So this is not a function.
Looking at 4th table, we see x value of -4 is mapped to 2 different y values of 2 and 0. So this is not a function as well.

Looking at table 1, there are no duplicate x values and each of the 4 x values map to different values. So the first table represents a function.

Suppose that W1 is a random variable with mean μ and variance σ21 and W2 is a random variable with mean μ and variance σ2. From

vivado [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of variance in random variable is applied in solving for the value of c for the estimator cW1 + (1 − c)W2 to be most efficient. Appropriate differentiation of the estimator with respect to c will give the value of c when the result is at minimum.

The detailed analysis and step by step approach is as shown in the attachment.
