Answer:

Mean is 81%

standard deviation is approximately 4.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of boys equals the number of girls, but it is not given, we name it "N". and proceed to calculate the mean as:

Mean = (0.78 * N + 0.84 * N) /(2 N)

using that the total number of students must be N boys + N girls = 2 N

Then the Mean becomes: N *(0.78 + 0.84) /(2 N) = (0.78 + 0.84) / 2 = 1.62 / 2 = 0.81

So the mean is 81%

Now, standard deviation will be calculated by first adding the squares of the deviations: (X-0.81)^2 for the N boys and for the N girls, and then finding the square root of this and finally dividing by the square root of N. That is:

N\,(0.78-0.81)^2\,+\,N\,(0.84-0.81)^2= N \left \{ (-0.03)^2+(0/03)^2\right \}=N\,*0.0018

Now finding the square root of this value, and finally dividing it by the square root of N:

\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{N\,*\,0.0018} }{\sqrt{N} } =\sqrt{0.0018} \approx 0.042426

which in percent form is: approximately 4.2%

How can you determine if two triangle angles are similar using their angle measurements???? In ur own words !!
Andrej [43]

Answer:

If two pairs of corresponding angles in a pair of triangles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. We know this because if two angle pairs are the same, then the third pair must also be equal. When the three angle pairs are all equal, the three pairs of sides must also be in proportion.
