Answer:

<em>The data set marked as B has the largest standard deviation</em>

Explanation:

<u>Standard Deviation</u>

It's a number used to show how a set of measurements is spread out from the average value. A low standard deviation means that most of the values are close to the average. A high standard deviation means that the numbers are more spread out.

The formula for the standard deviation is

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

Where x_i is the value of each measurement, n is the number of elements in the set, and \mu is the average or media of the values, defined as

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{\sum x_i}{n}

Let's analyze each set of data:

A.3,4,3,4,3,4,3

The average is

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{3+4+3+4+3+4+3}{7}=3.43

Computing the stardard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(3-3.43)^2+(4-3.43)^2+(3-3.43)^2+(4-3.43)^2+(3-3.43)^2+(4-3.43)^2+(3-3.43)^2}{7}}

\sigma=0.5

B.1,6,3,15,4,12,8

The average is

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{1+6+3+15+4+12+8}{7}=7

Computing the stardard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(1-7)^2+(6-7)^2+(3-7)^2+(15-7)^2+(4-7)^2+(12-7)^2+(8-7)^2}{7}}

\sigma=4.7

C. 20, 21,23,19,19,20,20

The average is

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{20+21+23+19+19+20+20}{7}=20.29

Computing the stardard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(20-20.29)^2+(21-20.29)^2+(23-20.29)^2+(19-20.29)^2+(19-20.29)^2+(20-20.29)^2+(20-20.29)^2}{7}}

\sigma=1.3

D.12,14,13,14,12,13,12

The average is

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{12+14+13+14+12+13+12}{7}=12.86

Computing the stardard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(12-12.86)^2+(14-12.86)^2+(13-12.86)^2+(14-12.86)^2+(12-12.86)^2+(13-12.86)^2+(12-12.86)^2}{7}}

\sigma=0.8

We can see the data set marked as B has the largest standard deviation

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on which quantities?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Explanation:

Gravitation is a force, a force doesn't care about the shape or density of objects, only about their masses... and distances.

And you can get it using the following equation:

f = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{d^{2} }

Where :

G is the universal gravitational constant : G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2

m represent the mass of each of the two objects

d is the distance between the centers of the objects.

A stable, binary ionic compound exists where the cation (A) has a charge twice in magnitude than that of the anion (X). What wou
svetlana [45]
<span>The cation is positively charged and has a charge twice that of the anion, for example +2. The anion is negatively charged and in our example where the cation has a +2 charge, it must have a -1 charge. In order for the charges to equal zero, there must be two anions: -1 x 2 = -2 So the answer is D. AX2</span>
