Answer:

Standard deviation of the population is 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Finishing times of 6 participants in 200 meter dash has been given as 27, 28, 27, 25, 24, 31.

We have to calculate the standard deviation of the population formed by these timings.

Formula of standard deviation is

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\mu)^{2}}{n} }

where \sigma = standard deviation

\mu = mean of the data

n = number of scores in the sample

Mean of given data = \frac{27+28+27+25+24+31}{6}=27

\sum(x-\mu)^{2}=(27-27)^{2}+(28-27)^{2}+(27-27)^{2}+(25-28)^{2}+(24-27)^{2}+(31-27)^{2}

= 0+1+0+4+9+16

= 30

Now \frac{\sum(x-\mu)^{2}}{n}=\frac{30}{6}=5

\sigma=\sqrt{5} = 2.236 ≈ 2.24

Therefore, standard deviation of the given data is 2.24

how much money has to be invested at 5.9% interest compounded continuously to have 15,000 after 12 years?
Scrat [10]
Hi there

The formula is
A=pe^rt
We need to solve for p where
A future value 15000
P present value?
E constant
R interest rate 0.059
T time 12 years
So when you solve for p you get
P=A÷e^rt
P=15,000÷e^(0.059×12)
P=7,389.43

Hope it helps

PLEASE HELP ASAP I NEED THIS DONE ASAP!!!

Answer:

The value of x is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that perimeter is found when all sides are added together. So we can assume that all side lengths add together will give you 134 imches :

x + 2x + 5 + 6x - 17 + 3x + 2 = 134

12x - 10 = 134

12x = 134 + 10

12x = 144

x = 144 \div 12

x = 12
