Answer: 3 copies of 5 tenths = 3*0.5 = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, if we have:
"3 copies of a number B"
This is written as:
3*B
And we have that the number B is "5 tenths"
Now, a tenth is the first digit after the decimal point.
Then 5 tenths = 5*0.1 = 0.5
B = 0.5
3 copies of 5 tenths = 3*0.5 = 1.5
Answer:
d. May
Step-by-step explanation:
Working through the chain, we have ...
Feb = 1.10×Jan
Mar = 0.85×Feb = 0.935×Jan
Apr = 1.20×Mar = 1.122×Jan
May = 0.90×Apr = 1.0098×Jan
Jun = 1.05×May = 1.06029×Jan
The multiplier that is closest to 1 is 1.0098, so May has sales closest to January.
_____
The percentage increase or decrease can be converted to a multiplier by adding it to 1. If p% is the percentage change, then adding it to an original value looks like ...
original + p% × original = original × (1 +p%) . . . . . . . distributive property
And p% translates to a decimal number by replacing % with /100 or ×0.01.
10% increase: original × (1 + 10/100) = original × 1.10
15% decrease: original × (1 - 15/100) = original × 0.85
In addition to mean and sample size you will need the individual scores.
The formula for standard deviation is:
S^2 = E(X-M)^2/N-1
Here's an example:
Data set: 4,4,3,1
Mean: 3
Sample size: 4
First, put the individual scores one after the other and subtract the mean from it.
4 - 3 = 1
4 - 3 = 1
3 - 3 = 0
1 - 3 = -2
Second, square the answers you got from step 1.
1^2 = 1
1^2 = 1
0^2 = 0
-2^2 = 4
Third, plug the values from step 2 into the formula.
S^2 = (1+1+0+4)/(4-1) = 6/3 = 2
Standard deviation = 2
