The formula for the sum of the squares of the deviations is
SS = s² (N -1)

We are given
SS = 316
N = 9

Substituting
316 = s² (9 - 1)
Solving for s
s = 6.28

The standard deviation is 6.28

Answer:

6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Rylan is calculating the standard deviation of a data set that has 9 values. He determines that the sum of the squared deviations is 316.

We will use the formula $\text{Standard deviation}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{Sum of squares}}{n-1}}$ , where n represents the number of data points in a data set.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

$\text{Standard deviation}=\sqrt{\frac{316}{9-1}}$

$\text{Standard deviation}=\sqrt{\frac{316}{8}}$

$\text{Standard deviation}=\sqrt{39.5}$

$\text{Standard deviation}=6.284902544988\approx 6.3$

Therefore, the standard deviation of our given data set is 6.3.

Mashcka [7]

Nayeon and her aunt hiked 154 meters before they had lunch and after they had lunch, they hiked 84 more meters. all together they hiked 238 meters. The dad and sister hiked 167 meters before they had lunch and after they had lunch, they hiked 62 more meters. all together they hiked 329 meters. The difference in meters between Nayeon and her aunt and her dad and her sister (before lunch) is 13 meters.

Find the angle of XZY

qaws [65]

Answer:

<h2>23.6°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand the solving steps</h3><h3>you need to know about</h3>

trigonometry i.g sin(x)=opp/hypo
PEMDAS

<h3>given:</h3>

opp:6
hypo:15

<h3>to find:</h3>

xyz angle

<h3>let's solve:</h3>

$let \: xyz \: angle \: be \: \alpha$

$according \: to \: the \: question$

$\sin( \alpha ) = \frac{xy}{zy}$

$\sin( \alpha ) = \frac{6}{15}$

$\alpha = asin( \frac{6}{15} )$

$\alpha = {23.6}^{o}$

therefore

<h3>xyz angle=23.6°</h3>

Square perimeter= 20 triangle base= 3 and height =3.5 find the percentage of the area inside the square shaded

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Area of geometric figures mentioned calculated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Square Perimeter = 4 x sides of square = 20. So, each equal side of square = 20 / 4 = 5

Area of square = ( Side )^2 = ( 5 )^2 = 25

Area of triangle = 1/2 (Base) (Height) = 1/2 x 3 x 3.5 = 5.25

Solve the system by substitution

kramer

Answer:

The solution to the system of equations be:

$x=3,\:y=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

4x-2y = 16

y = -5x+13

Solving the system of equations using the substitution method

$\begin{bmatrix}4x-2y=16\\ y=-5x+13\end{bmatrix}$

Substitute y = -5x+13 in 4x-2y = 16

$4x-2\left(-5x+13\right)=16$

$4x+10x-26 = 16$

$14x-26 = 16$

Now isolate x for $14x-26 = 16$

$14x-26=16$

Add 26 to both sides

$14x-26+26=16+26$

Simplify

$14x=42$

Divide both sides by 14

$\frac{14x}{14}=\frac{42}{14}$

Simplify

$x=3$

For y = -5x+13

Substitute x = 3

$y=-5\cdot \:3+13$

Simplify

$y=-2$

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations be:

$x=3,\:y=-2$
