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.

Grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height. how high
bezimeni [28]

Given that grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height.

So if D is the diameter and h is the height of the conical pile then we can write:


D=3h

We know that diameter = 2r, where r is the radius

2r=3h

r=\frac{3h}{2}

Volume of conical pile is given by formula

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Given that volume is 1110 cubic feet.

Now plug the values of Volume and r into equation of volume

1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{3h}{2})^2h

1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot\frac{9h^2}{4}\cdot h

1110=\pi\cdot\frac{3h^3}{4}

1110\cdot\frac{4}{3\pi}=h^3

471.098631552=h^3

take cube root of both sides

7.78103342467=h

Hence height is approx 7.78 feet.

What percent of the time was spent on reading? The percentages are English 11% Science28% math22% social studies15% spelling 12%
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The percent of time that was spent on reading is 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this question out, first add up all of the known percentages. So for this question, this would be: 11 + 28 + 22+ 15 + 12, or 88. The total of all the percentages must be equal to 100%. So, subtract the sum of all the known percentages from 100.

100 - 88 = 12%

Hope this helps! ^-^
