Answer:

E. 10 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Deviation is the square root of sum of square of the distance of observation from the mean.

Standard deviation(\sigma) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{(x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}} }

where, \bar{x} is mean of the distribution.

Here, since standard deviation is the ratio of the distance from the mean and sample size. So for decreasing the standard deviation we should keep numerator constant and increasing the denominator.

This can be only possible in option (E).

Hence, only Option (E) is correct.

Answer:
X= - 44
18x+3x+4-5=5(4x9
Collect like terms
21x+4-5=5(4x-9
More variable to the left hand side and change its sign

Complete the table so that the cost per banana remains the same.
Aneli [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of banana    Cost      Unit price

4                            2            0.50

6                            3             0.50

7                           3.5           0.50

20                         10            0.50

20                          10             0.50

33                          16.50        0.50

Cost = No of banana x unit price

Cost = 4 x 0.50 = 2

Cost = 6 x 0.50 = 3

Cost = 7 x 0.50 = 3.50

Cost = 20 x 0.50 = 10

No of banana = Cost / Unit price

No of banana = 10 / 0.50 = 20

No of banana = 16.50 / 0.50 = 33
