What is the standard deviation of the following data set rounded to the nearest tenth?

1 answer:

5 0

The standard deviation is 6.3.

We first find the mean by adding all of the values and dividing by the number of data points:
(534+524+539+530+537+522)/6 = 3186/6 = 531

We now use the following formula to find the standard deviation:
$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(x_1-\mu)^2+(x_2-\mu)^2+...}{n}}
\\
\\=\sqrt{\frac{(534-531)^2+(524-531)^2+(539-531)^2+(530-531)^2+(537-531)^2+(522-531)^2}{6}}
\\
\\=\sqrt{\frac{3^2+(-7)^2+8^2+(-1)^2+6^2+(-9)^2}{6}}
=\sqrt{\frac{9+49+64+1+36+81}{6}}=\sqrt{\frac{240}{6}}
\\
\\=\sqrt{40}\approx 6.3$

Answer:

Applying the scientific method by having two control groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margaret´s design supports its conclusion because she applied the scientific method.

Margaret had two control groups: the ones that play videogames only a little and the ones who play a longer time.

She tested both groups and made an estadistic manner to show the results.

By this way she supported her conclusion.

If something she did wrong id that she didn´t had an hipothesis to base of.

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a triangle equal to 180.

80+20=100

180-100=80

The line is 180

180-80=100

Check the picture below.

let's notice the "white" ∡1 is an inscribed angle with an intercepted arc of (x-32), and the "green" ∡5 is also an inscribed angle with an intercepted arc of (2x).

the ∡6 and ∡2 are both external angles, however they intercepted two arcs, a "far arc" and a "near arc", thus we'll use the far arc - near arc formula, as you see in the picture, and we'll use the inscribed angle theorem for the other two.

$\bf \measuredangle 1=\cfrac{x-32}{2}\implies \measuredangle 1 =\cfrac{32}{2}\implies \measuredangle 1 = 16 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \measuredangle 5 =\cfrac{2x}{2}\implies \measuredangle 5 = x\implies \measuredangle 5 = 64 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \measuredangle 2 = \cfrac{(2x+8)~~-~~(x-32)}{2}\implies \measuredangle 2=\cfrac{2x+8-x+32}{2} \\\\\\ \measuredangle 2=\cfrac{x+40}{2}\implies \measuredangle 2=\cfrac{104}{2}\implies \measuredangle 2=52 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \measuredangle 6=\cfrac{[(2x+8)+(x)]~~-~~(2x)}{2}\implies \measuredangle 6=\cfrac{3x+8-2x}{2}\implies \measuredangle 6=\cfrac{x+8}{2} \\\\\\ \measuredangle 6=\cfrac{72}{2}\implies \measuredangle 6=36$
