I believe the answer is A, the standard deviation is preferable to the range as a measure of variation because the standard deviation takes into account all of the observations, whereas the range considers only the largest and the smallest. Range gives an overall spread of data from the lowest to the largest and thus can be influenced by anomalies, standard deviation on the other hand, takes into account the variable data/spread about the mean and allows for statistical use so inferences can be made.<span />

Answer:

Option a is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both standard deviation and range are used as measures of dispersion.  These show the deviations of the data within.

While range is maximum -minimum, the std deviation is the square root of variance and variance is the average of the sum of squares of each entry from the mean.

While range depends only on max and min the std deviation depends on each entry of the sample. Hence std deviation is a better measure.

a. the standard deviation is preferable to the range as a measure of variation because the standard deviation takes into account all of the​ observations, whereas the range considers only the largest and smallest ones.

An observer, whose eyes are 1.98 m above the ground, is standing 39.2 m away from a tree. The ground is level, and the tree is g
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The tree is 16.25 m tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached is a diagram that better explains the problem.

From the diagram we see that the distance between the top of the tree and the line of sight of the observer is x.

To find the height of the tree, we need to first find x and then add it to the height of the observers line of sight from the ground.

Using SOHCAHTOA trigonometric function:

tan(20) = x/39.2

=> x = 39.2 * tan(20)

x = 39.2 * 0.364

x = 14.27m

Hence, the height of the tree is:

(14.27 + 1.98)m

16.25m

The tree is 16.25 m tall.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

  17.3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

For some annual interest rate r and time in years t, the initial account value is multiplied by e^(rt).

You want the multiplier e^(.04t) to have a value of 2:

  2 = e^(.04t)

  ln(2) = 0.04t . . . . . take natural logs

  t = ln(2)/0.04 = 17.329 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

It will take about 17.3 years for the investment to double.
