In a statistics​ class, the standard deviation of the heights of all students was 4.2 inches. The standard deviation of the heig

hts of males was 3.4 inches and the standard deviation of females was 3.3 inches. Why is the standard deviation of the entire class more than the standard deviation of the males and females considered​ separately?

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.

Given that the quadratic equation has equal roots (k^2-1)x^2-2kx-3k-1=0
Alik [6]

Answer:

(See explanation for further details)

Step-by-step explanation:

The real expression is:

(k^{2}-1)\cdot x{{2} - 2\cdot k \cdot x - 3\cdot k + 1 = 0

The general equation for the second-order polynomial is:

x = \frac{2\cdot k \pm \sqrt{4\cdot k^{2}-4\cdot (k^{2}-1)\cdot (-3\cdot k + 1)}}{k^{2}-1}

This condition must be observed for the case of a quadratic equation with equal roots:

4\cdot k^{2} - 4\cdot (k^{2}-1)\cdot (-3\cdot k + 1) = 0

k^{2} + (k^{2}-1)\cdot (3\cdot k + 1) = 0

k^{2} + 3\cdot k^{3} - 3\cdot k - k^{2}-1 = 0

3\cdot k^{3} - 3\cdot k - 1 = 0

so, I need to just find the missing length, if you can, please explain the pythagorean theorem to find the missing side. I don't
ANTONII [103]

The surface area of the triangular prism is 828 in².

Solution:

Let the missing length of the triangle be x.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

In right triangle, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of other two sides.

12^2+x^2=15^2

144+x^2=225

Subtract 144 on both sides of the equation.

x^2=225-144

x^2=81

Taking square root on both sides, we get

x = 9

The missing length of the triangle is 9 in.

Area of the front triangle = \frac{1}{2}\times 12\times 9

                                         = 54 in²

Area of the back triangle = \frac{1}{2}\times 12\times 9

                                         = 54 in²

Area of the sloping rectangle = 20 × 9

                                                 = 180 in²

Area of the back rectangle = 20 × 12

                                             = 240 in²

Area of the base rectangle = 20 × 15

                                             = 300 in²

Total area = 54 in² + 54 in² + 180 in² + 240 in² + 300 in²

                 = 828 in²

The surface area of the triangular prism is 828 in².
