A veterinarian weighed a sample of 666 puppies. Here are each of their weights (in kilograms): 1, 2, 7, 7, 10, 151,2,7,7,10,151,

Answer:
The standard deviation of the weight, σ, is approximately 4.73 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
The weights of the six puppies are;
= 1, 2, 7, 7, 10, and 15
The number of puppies, n = 6
Therefore, we have;
The mean = μ = ∑x/n = (1 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 10 + 15)/6 = 7
The standard deviation, σ, is given as follows;
By substituting, we have;
Simplifying gives;
The standard deviation of the weight, σ ≈ 4.73 kg to two decimal places.
Example :
x y
1 3
2 6
3 9
4 12
first thing u do is pick any 2 points (x,y) from ur table
(1,3) and (2,6)
now we sub those into the slope formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) to find the slope
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(1,3)....x1 = 1 and y1 = 3
(2,6)...x2 = 2 and y2 = 6
sub
slope = (6 - 3) / (2 - 1) = 3/1 = 3
now we use slope intercept formula y = mx + b
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
use any point off ur table...(1,3)...x = 1 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 3(1) + b
3 = 3 + b
3 - 3 = b
0 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3x + 0....which can be written as y = 3x...and if u sub any of ur points into this equation, they should make the equation true....if they dont, then it is not correct
and if u need it in standard form..
y = 3x
-3x + y = 0
3x - y = 0 ...this is standard form
