Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Σ(x − M) = 44

where, M is mean.

Sample size = 12

The computational formula for sample variance is

s^2=\dfrac{\sum (x-M)^2}{N-1}

where, M is sample mean and N is sample size.

Substitute Σ(x − M) = 44 and N=12 in the above formula.

s^2=\dfrac{44}{12-1}

s^2=\dfrac{44}{11}

s^2=4.0

The sample variance is 4.0.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

If the roots of a quadratic equation are 1±√5, then the product of the roots is
Drupady [299]
The plus-minus sign represents that there are two possible outcomes.

In this case, we have 1 \pm \sqrt{5}. When we branch out the possibilities we got 2 values: 1 + \sqrt{5} and 1 - \sqrt{5}

Those are the roots of this equation. When they ask their product, they want you to multiply both numbers.

When we multiply them: (1 + \sqrt{5}) \times( 1 - \sqrt{5})

When we FOIL the we get: 1 \times 1 - 1 \times \sqrt{5} + 1 \times \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{5}

Simplify:
1 - \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{5} - 5
1 - 5 = 6

So the product of the two roots of this equation is 6.
