Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
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
(3x+1)+(2x+4)=90
3x+1+2x+4=90
5x+5=90
5x=85
x=17
The best answer is D.
According to the pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2 in a right triangle where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.
The diagram given gives the length of both legs, so plug it into the equation to get c^2= 24^2+45^2
