Answer

given,

the standard deviation:-  

of the students height in the class = 4.2 inches  

of the male heights in the class = 3.4 inches  

of females height in the class = 3.3 inches  

standard deviation is the deviation of the value from the target value.

the given question standard deviation of the students is more than that of the individual standard deviation of the heights of males and females because of the distribution of the entire class has more dispersion.

A car travels 65 km in 45 minutes what is the average speed of the car in km/h
nekit [7.7K]
So to begin your problem, you know that your car already has an average which is 65km/45 mins. The problem wants you to change this to km/hr. This means that you need to convert minutes to hours. A simple way to do this is by using fractions. 
Set your problem up with fractions similar to this:
65km/45 mins x 60 mins/1 hr.
the whole point is to cancel out your minutes, and leave the hours as your new unit for the denominator
65km/45 x 60/1 hr. 
now you want to reduce (I divided the first fraction by 5)
13km/9 x 60/1 hr.
780km/9hrs. 
That would be your answer. If someone can double check my math that would be fantastic.
