Answer: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

If 15 workers can paint 18 houses in 24 days, how many days will 40 workers take to paint 22 houses?

--------------

# of days are inversely related to # of workers and directly related

to # of houses.

--------------

d = kh/w

---

Solve for "k" using "15 workers can paint 18 houses in 24 days"

24 = k*18/15

k = 15*24/18 = 15*(4/3) = 20

--------------

Equation:

d = 20h/w

---

Solve: How many days will 40 workers take to paint 22 houses?

d = 20*22/40

d = 11 days

Compute the standard deviation of the following set of data to the nearest whole number:
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, and the variance is found by using the mean. So we will do that first. I will use the population variance as opposed to the sample variance since our set of numbers is small.

The mean: 8 + 12 + 15 + 17 + 18 = 70 and divide that by 5 to get

\bar{x}=14 and use this to find the variance in the formula:

s^2=\frac{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})^2}{n} it is a bit difficult to enter that formula in correctly, but here's how it works mathematically:

s^2=\frac{(8-14)^2+(12-14)^2+(15-14)^2+(17-14)^2+(18-14)^2}{5}

Squaring this ensures us that we don't end up with zero, which would be useless.

s^2=\frac{36+4+1+9+16}{5} so

s^2=13.2 which means that the standard deviation is

s = 3.633

(If you do it with n-1 = 4 in the denominator of the variance, you get a standard deviation of 4.062)
