What is the sample variance of the following data, which describe the height growth of 10 foxtail pine trees grown in a common garden ( give your answer to one decimal place)?
Tree Height(cm)
1 25.6987
2 19.6587
3 11.4780
4 9.11130
5 16.8747
6 14.7771
7 33.0001
8 24.0000
9 19.4441
10 14.1010
answer 51.9
Explanation:
what is a sample variance?
A sample variance (denoted as
) is used to calculate how far a set of numbers are from the mean value of the set. Mathematically, it is defined as the average of the squared deviations from its mean value.
Let the individual value of the trees be represented as x₁ to x₁₀
Let the total number of Foxtail pine trees be N
To calculate the standard deviation, we will first calculate the mean or average of the height of the trees
1. Mean (μ) = 
=
= 
2. we need to calculate the sum of the squares of the individual deviations.
∑[x-μ]²= 
3. Now the variance is ; (∑[x-μ]²) ÷ (N-1) and since N=10, then N-1 = 10-1 = 9
= 
we were asked the give our answer to one decimal place
∴ Variance(
)= 51.9
Answer:
Generally in non flowering plant the male sex organ is called the antheridium,while the female is called the achegonium. Due to the habitat and methods of reproduction, special adaptive feature s have been developed by these plants to ensure reproduction and prevent extinction.
Explanation:
Based on structure,Antheridial (male sex cells) are usually upright in position,with pores located at the top of the antherialdial disk.These perforation is adaptive feature for effective dispersal of sperm during reproduction.
In addition present in the archegoniu is the achegonium dsik. The latter is the adaptive feature for protection of the archegonia.The disc serve as an umbrella surface for the protection of the archegonia during reproduction.Thus ovum is well protected to ensure fertilization and prevent wastage.
It can utilize even low wind speeds to produce electricity.
Correct answer - potometer.
Why? - The potometer does not measure the rate of transpiration accurately because not all of the water that is taken by the plant is used for transpiration (water taken might be used for photosynthesis or by the cells to maintain turgidity). The potometer measures the rate of uptake of water.
