Hiiiiiiii, okay here's the full- explanation for you, so here's the final answer. The explanation of how i got the answer is also below! Hope this helped you!!

Answer:

2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

First the mean or average = sum / data points (or N) = (2 + 4 + 7 + 8 + 9) / 5 = 6  

Now we take each of the individual values subtract the mean, and then square them, and add it all up.  

(2 - 6)^2 + (4 - 6)^2 + (7 - 6)^2 + (8 - 6)^2 + (9 - 6)^2 = 34  

Then we divide this by degrees of freedom = N - 1 to find the sample standard deviation. Note that this is different from the population standard deviation, where we would just divide N, but we use this because our data set is small, like less than 30 points.  

34 / (N - 1) -----> = 34 / (5 - 1) = 8.5  

Now, this is the variance, so we take the square root of the variance to get the sample standard deviation:  

√(8.5) = 2.9 (rounded to 1 decimal place)  

Note that scientific calculators, even my $20 version can do these kind of statistics calculations. Just enter the data set as a table of values in statistics mode, and press a few buttons, you're done!

A campground owner has 24002400 m of fencing. he wants to enclose a rectangular field bordering a​ river, with no fencing along
Free_Kalibri [48]
We define variables:
 x = represent the width of the field
 y = represent the length of the field
 We write the perimeter (with no fencing along the river):
 2400 = 2x + y
 We clear y:
 y = 2400-2x
 Answer:
 
an expression for the length of the field as a function of x is:
 
y = 2400-2x

Answer:  graph D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

graph A) The equation is y = x

graph B) The equation is y = -x² + 2

graph C) The equation is x = y²

graph D) The equation is y = 2

Which equation does not have an "x" in it?  <em>D</em>

Therefore, the y-value is not dependent on an x-value.
