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

Solve 6y2-5y-6 = 0 using the quadratic formula.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Ay=3 over 2 or y=-2 over 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the quadratic formula: y={-b±√(b²-4ac)}/2a

In the equation 6y²-5y-6= 0, a=6, b=-5, c= -6

Substituting for the values in the formula we get:

{-(-5)±√[(-5²)-4(6)(-6)}/2(6)

{5±√169}12

={5±13}/12

(5+13)/12=3/2 or (5-13)/12= -2/3
