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

2. 2(x+1.25) = 3.5
dangina [55]

Answer:

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(x + 1.25) = 3.5 ← divide both sides by 2

x + 1.25 = 1.75 ( subtract 1.25 from both sides )

x = 0.5

The original cost of Sam’s investment is $10,000. After liquidating the investment, Sam calculated his real return to be $10,700
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Return on investment (ROI) = 7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount invested = $10,000

Total amount get (refund) = $10,700

Find:

Return on investment (ROI) = ?

Computation:

Amount Return = Total amount get (refund) - Amount invested

Amount Return = $10,700 - $10,000

Amount Return = $700

Return\ on\ investment \ (ROI) = [\frac{Amount\ Return}{Amount\ invested} ]100\\\\Return\ on\ investment \ (ROI) = [\frac{700}{10,000} ]100 \\\\ Return\ on\ investment \ (ROI) =7

Return on investment (ROI) = 7%
