Answer:

c.negative

True, by definition since the variance take in count the differences around the mean squared, then we can't have a negative value for a sum of square values.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that the variance is a measure of dispersion for a dataset respect to a measure of central tendency called the mean. The mean is defined as:

\bar x = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And the population mean is given by:

\mu= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{N}

The population variance is defined by:

\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\mu)^2}{N}

And the sample variance is defined as:

s^2= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar x)}{n-1}

Now if we analyze the options we have this:

a.zero

False, if all the values are the same then the mean would be the same to the values and the difference between each value and the mean would 0 and indeed the variance would be 0.

b.larger than the standard deviation

False, if the population standard deviation is \sigma=2 then the variance would be \sigma^2 = 4 and as we can see is higher than the standard deviation

c.negative

True, by definition since the variance take in count the differences around the mean squared, then we can't have a negative value for a sum of square values.

d.smaller than the standard deviation

False, if the population standard deviation is \sigma=0.1 then the variance would be \sigma^2 = 0.01 and as we can see is lower than the standard deviation

The quantity demanded each month of the walter serkin recording of beethoven's moonlight sonata, manufactured by phonola media,
Olenka [21]
We can get the Profit function P(x) from the Hint. 

the Profit function is: P(x) = xp(x) - C(x) = -0.00041 x2 + 4x - 600
Attention: don't get confuse by the <span>big P of the profit with the small p of the price</span> To calculate the maximum profit, we need to find the derivative of P(x) then set it to 0 then find x: dP(x)/dx = -0.00082 x + 4 = 0 ,   so x = 4/0.00082 = 4,878 copies each month.

Erik and Nita are playing a game with numbers. In the game, they each think of a random number from zero to 20. If the differenc
Mademuasel [1]
Let X is the random number Erik thinks of, and Y is the random number Nita thinks of.
Both X and Y are in the range from 0 to 20.
<span>X<=20
Y<=20
If the difference between their two numbers is less than 10, then Erik wins.
The difference between the two numbers can be written X-Y, or Y-X depending on which number (X or Y) is greater. But we do not know that. In order not to get negative value, we calculate absolute value of X-Y,  written |X-Y| which will give positive value whether X is greater than Y or not.
If |X-Y|<10 Erik wins.

Find x (Geometry)<br> Full working out pls. Thank you
vichka [17]

in 1st figure

2:1=(x+2):2

2/1=(x+2)/2

4=x+2

x=2.

Similarly in the 2nd figure

8:5=(8+3):(5+x)

8/5 = 11/ (5+x)

8(5+x) =55

40+8x=55

8x=15

x=15/8

x=1.875
