You don't even have to look up the definition of 'standard deviation'. You only
have to remember that 'smaller standard deviation' means 'less spread-out'.
First, let's find the mean (average). It's not supposed to change:
1/7th of (65 + 71 + 77 + 80 + 82 + 90 + 96) = 561/7 = <u>80 and 1/7</u> .
Now, just pick 7 scores that total 561 and are all bunched up.
The easiest way would be 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 81 .
But that's so easy that it feels like cheating.
Let's say <u>77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, and 84</u> .
To solve an equation for one variable, we will utilize PEMDAS ( parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, add/subtract) but backwards. So we will first add/subtract any numbers to the other side to get the variable by itself. We will then divide/multiply any numbers to get the variable by itself.
The answer is dividing stuff
Using Rise/Run, the answer would be y= -3/4x + 3.
