$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} y=343\\ x=49 \end{cases}\implies 343=k49\implies \cfrac{343}{49}=k \\\\\\ 7=k\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{y=7x} \\\\\\ \textit{when x = 8, what is \underline{y}?}\qquad y=7(8)\implies y=56$

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The standard error of the mean is 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we don't know the standard deviation of the population, we can estimate the standard error of the mean from the standard deviation of the sample as:

$\sigma_{\bar{x}}\approx\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

The sample is [30mins, 40 mins, 60 mins, 80 mins, 20 mins, 85 mins]. The size of the sample is n=6.

The mean of the sample is:

$\bar{x}=\frac{1}n} \sum x_i =\frac{30+40+60+80+20+85}{6}=52.5$

The standard deviation of the sample is calculated as:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum (x_i-\bar x)^2} \\\\ s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}\cdot ((30-52.5)^2+(40-52.5)^2+(60-52.5)^2+(80-52.5)^2+(20-52.5)^2+(85-52.5)^2}\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5} *3587.5}=\sqrt{717.5}=26.8$
