Answer:

A. Standard deviation is always a non-negative number.

Explanation:

The true statement about standard deviation is that, standard deviation is always a non-negative number.

A standard deviation is calculated by taking the square root of variance and as such the value of standard deviation is always a positive number and not a negative number.

Additionally, the variance of a sample population is calculated by the summation of all the squared distances obtained from the mean divided by the total number of samples. Hence, all the values of the variance are always positive (non-negative) numbers because they are squared. Consequently, the standard deviation would as well always be a non-negative number.

Students were measuring distances and found one to be 2.04 m. When they asked the teacher if their measurement was correct, the

Answer:

The percentage error is 5.56%

Explanation:

Given

$Measured (M) = 2.04m$

$Actual (A)= 2.16m$

Required

Determine the percentage error

Percentage error (P) is calculated as follows:

$P = \frac{|A - M|}{A} * 100\%$

$P = \frac{|2.16 - 2.04|}{2.16} * 100\%$

$P = \frac{|0.12|}{2.16} * 100\%$

$P = \frac{0.12}{2.16} * 100\%$

$P = \frac{12\%}{2.16}$

$P = 5.56\%$

Hence:

<em>The percentage error is 5.56%</em>

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Chord UV = 5

Explanation:

Recall that Theorem of congruent chords relating to their arcs states that the intercepted arcs of two chords are congruent if the two chords are of the same length.

The converse of this theorem states that if two intercepted arcs of two corresponding chords are congruent, then the two chords are congruent to each other.

Let's apply the converse of this theorem to the problem given.

We are given that the intercepted arcs of chord UV and chord UT are 34° each.

Therefore, chord UV must be congruent to chord UT.

Since chord UT = 5

Therefore, chord UV = 5
