Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a). Mean of the given data set = 
= 28
b). x

32 32-28 = 4 16
28 28 - 28 = 0 0
18 18 - 28 = -10 100
40 40 - 28 = 12 144
22 22 - 28 = -6 36
= 296
c). Standard deviation = 
= 
= 7.69
d). Mean of the new set of weights = 
= 34
Since mean of the data set is more close to each data, standard deviation will be less than the deviation given in part (c).
Answer:
statement 2 is the inverse of statement 1
Each year the boat is worth 100-12 = 88% ( or 0.88) of the year before
after 12 years the boat is worth 12050 * 0.88^9 = $3813.56
