Consider a sample with data values of 27, 25, 20, 15, 30, 34, 28, and 25. Compute the range, interquartile range, variance, and

standard deviation (to a maximum of 2 decimals, if decimals are necessary).

So we have a set of integers,

X=\{15,20,25,25,27,28,30,34\}

And we need to compute some stats.

First the range,

The range of data set is difference between the maximum and the minimum of the data set.

So the minimum is 15 and maximum is 34 therefore the range is 34 - 15 = 19.

Second the interquartile range,

The interquartile range of data set is the difference of the first and third quartiles.

First quartile is the value separating the lower quarter and higher three - quarters of the set. The first quartile is computed by taking median of the lower half of the sorted set. This is 15, 20, 25, 25 and it's median is 22.5

Third quartile is therefore the median of 27, 28, 30, 34 which is 29.

Next up, variance.

The variance of set measures how much data is spread out. For data set x_1,\dots, x_n with an average a,

\mathsf{var}(X)=\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\dfrac{(x_i-a)^2}{n-1}

So first compute the average value which is actually a mean,

a=\dfrac{1}{2}\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}a_i

The sum \Sigma_{i=1}^{n}a_i of numbers in set is 204.

Divide this by number of elements in the set (8).

a=\dfrac{204}{8}=25.5

Then compute the variance,

\mathsf{var}(X)=\dfrac{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}(x_i-a)^2}{n-1}\approx\boxed{34.57}

And finally standard deviation,

Since have computed variance the standard deviation is nothing too hard. It's defined as a square root of variance,

\mathsf{sde}(X)=\sqrt{\dfrac{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}(x_i-a)^2}{n-1}}=\sqrt{34.57}\approx\boxed{5.88}

Hope this helps.

Verify the identity: <br> (1-sinx)/cosx = cosx/(1+sinx)
Lisa [10]
For the answer to the question above,
<span>Let's work with the left-hand side 
We're going to times cosx/1-sinx by 1+sinx/1+sinx, you can do this because 1+sinx/1+sinx is equal to 1, so you aren't really changing anything. 

After you've times the top and bottom by 1+sinx, you get: 

cosx(1+sinx) / (1-sinx)(1+sinx) 

The denominator is a difference of squares, so you get 1-sin^2 x 

what you have now is 

cosx(1+sinx) / 1-sin^2x 

You know that 1-sin^2x is equal to cos^2x 

so know you have 

cosx(1+sinx) / cos^2x 

get rid of the cosx on top by simplifying and the cos^2x so that you're left with 

(1+sinx) / cos x 

Therefore cosx / 1- sinx = 1 + sinx / cos x</span>

Prove algebraically that (m + 2)2 – m 2 – 12 is always a multiple of 4
Julli [10]

Answer:

(m + 2)^{2} - m^{2}  - 12 = 4(m - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Write the expression

(m+2)^{2} - m^{2}  - 12

Step 2: Expand (m + 2)^{2}

(m+2)^{2} - m^{2} - 12\\(m+2)(m+2) - m^{2}  - 12\\m^{2} + 2m + 2m + 4 - m^{2}  - 12

Step 3: Collect similar terms

m^{2}  - m^{2}  + 4m + 4 - 12\\4m - 8

Step 4: Factor 4 out of the expression to prove that the expression is a multiple of 4.

Therefore\\4m - 8 = 4(m - 2)\\Hence,\\(m+2)^{2}  - m^{2} -  12 is a multiply of 4 because the expression is equal to 4(m-2)

List the coordinates,
Coordinates are shown as (x,y) 
If 2+2+7+7 is 16
You make those your side lengths 
Coordinates are (9,7) (2,7) (2,5) (9,5) 
they maybe slightly off because of the broken peice of paper

Find the product: (x² - x + 1)(2x² + 3x + 2).
Tresset [83]

Answer:

(2x^3-2x^2-12x) is the required product.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

2x(x-3)(x+2)

Solving the above given equation, we get

=(2x^2-6x)(x+2)

which can be written as:

=(2x^3-6x^2+4x^2-12x)

Solving the like terms, we get

=(2x^3-2x^2-12x)

which is the required product of the given expression.
