How do you use standard deviation?

2 answers:

3 0

Standard deviation is like the average range values are away from the mean/median. So if you remember box and whisker plots, It is 2 boxes with 2 lines coming from them. Where the boxes meet is the mean/median depending on what you are trying to find, and the edges of the boxes are the normal distribution of values, and the lines go out, and that's the standard deviation. The values outside of those lines are outliers. A way you can think about it, is if let's say I had 3 numbers: 7,8,9. Now the mean/median is 8, and for this the standard deviation is 1 because most numbers that are not the median/mean are 1 value from the median/mean. It is a way of measuring an element of range. I hope this helped.

Work out the Mean (the simple average of the numbers)
Then for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result.
Then work out the mean of those squared differences.
Take the square root of that and we are done!

Answer:

$\frac{-117}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Change the mixed fractions into improper fractions:

$-3\frac{1}{5} + (-8\frac{1}{2} )\\= \frac{-16}{5} - \frac{17}{2}$

2) Multiply the first fraction by 2/2 and the second fraction by 5/5 in order to create common factors on the denominator (You can do this because you are essentially multiplying by one, for example 2/2 = 1):

$\frac{-16}{5} *\frac{2}{2} - \frac{-17}{2} * \frac{5}{5} \\ =\frac{-32}{10} - \frac{85}{10}$

3) Simplify the numerator(top part) while keeping the denominator(bottom part) the same:

$\frac{-32}{10} -\frac{85}{10} \\\\=\frac{-32 - 85}{10}\\ \\= \frac{-117}{10}$

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{\red{ \boxed{ - \cos(x) + C}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>

integration
PEMDAS

<h3>tips and formulas:</h3>

$\tan( \theta) = \dfrac{ \sin( \theta) }{ \cos( \theta) }$
$\sf \displaystyle \int \sin(x) \: dx = - \cos(x) + C$

<h3>let's solve:</h3>

$\sf \: rewrite \: \tan( \theta) \: as \: \dfrac{ \sin( \theta) }{ \cos( \theta) } : \\ = \displaystyle \int \: \frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x) } \cos(x) \: dx \\ = \displaystyle \int \: \frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cancel{\cos(x) }} \: \cancel{ \cos(x)} \: dx \\ = \displaystyle \int \: \sin(x) \: dx$
$\sf \: use \: the \: formula : \\ \sf \displaystyle - \cos(x)$
$\sf add \: constant : \\ - \cos(x) + C$

$\text{And we are done!}$

How do you calculate the volume of a cone when given the height and diameter? Describe the steps used to solve.

fiasKO [112]

First find the radius by taking half the diameter. Use the radius to find the base area by using the formula for the area of a circle. Find the product of the base area and height, and then take one-third of the product.
