aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First we find the mean (or the average)...
average : (82 + 76 + 93 + 82 + 73 + 80 / 6) = 486/6 = 81
now we subtract the average from every data point.....then square the result
82 - 81 = 1.......1^2 = 1
76 - 81 = -5....-5^2 = 25
93 - 81 = 12....12^2 = 144
82 - 81 = 1.......1^2 = 1
73 - 81 = -8.....-8^2 = 64
80 - 81 = -1.....-1^2 = 1
now we find the mean (or average) of those numbers
(1 + 25 + 144 + 1 + 64 + 1) / 6 = 236/6 = 39.33
that is ur variance....to find the standard deviation, take the square root of ur variance.....
square root 39.33 = 6.27 <==
D because the two sides have to be larger than the hypotenuse when added
Answer:
Method A.
Step-by-step explanation:
For solving this question we need to find out the z-scores for both methods,
Since, the z-score formula is,

Where,
is mean,
is standard deviation,
Given,
For method A,


Thus, the z score for 34 is,

While, for method B,


Thus, the z score for 34 is,
,
Since, 
Hence, method A is preferred if the procedure must be completed within 34 minutes.
