Answer:

Mean age: 48

Standard deviation: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Mean

The formula for Mean = Sum of terms/ Number of terms

Number of terms

= 42 + 54 + 50 + 54 + 50 + 42 + 46 + 46 + 48+ 48/ 10

= 480/10

= 48

The mean age is 48

b) Standard deviation

The formula for Standard deviation =

√(x - Mean)²/n

Where n = number of terms

Standard deviation =

√[(42 - 48)² + (54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(42 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² / 10]

= √-6² + 6² + 2² + 6² + 2² + -6² + -2² + -2² + 0² + 0²/10

=√36 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 4 + 0 + 0/ 10

=√160/10

= √16

= 4

The standard deviation of the ages is 4

Heather is saving for retirement and has been doing a lot of research on how much she should put aside each month. The newest ar
tino4ka555 [31]
If Heather puts in 1.36% of her salary into a retirement account and she makes $63,000 in a year, this can be solved by 1.36% x 63000. First convert 1.36% into a decimal. To do this, divide by 100.

1.36/100=0.0136

1.36% x 63000
=0.0136 x 63000
=856.8
Heather would put $856.8 in for the whole year. To find how much per month, divide by 12.

856.8/12=71.<span>4
</span>Rounded to the nearest dollar is $71.

Heather would put $71 into a retirement account each month.
<em>
</em><em>Note: This was solved by multiply the percent and then dividing by 12 months. You could also do this by dividing by 12 months first and then multiplying the percent.</em>

2.77*10^3=2770  where (10^3=1000, so 1000*2.77)
1.04*10^4=10400 where (10^4=10000, so 10000*1.04)
 
2770+10400
