Answer:

Part A

The population standard deviation is suitable for this dataset as it isnt given whether its a sample or a population distribution and it sure doesn't seem like the findings from such a dataset is to be generalized for some population distribution.

Part B

This is outrightly a population distribution of all the students in the middle school, So, the spread of the height of all students about a mean is best indicated using the population standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The spread of a dataset is usually the measure of dispersion, a measure of the way the distribution spreads out from a particular mean value.

The problem of which type of standard deviation one should calculate usually arises a lot in Statistics. As the name sounds, population standard deviation usually uses all of the distribution to compute while the sample standard deviation uses the data from the sample distribution

The best advice on when to use the population stamdard deviation formula is that

(1) we have the entire population or

(2) we have a sample of a larger population, but we are only interested in this sample and do not wish to generalize the statistical findings to the population.

The sample standard deviation formula is used when one has a sample of a larger population, one is not only interested in this sample and one wishes to generalize the findings to the population.

The population standard deviation is given as

σ = √[Σ(x - xbar)²/N]

Sample standard deviation

σ = √{[Σ(x - xbar)²]/N-1)}

The only difference is the N and (N-1).

So, for the questions presented,

Part A.

Here, it is evident that the findings for this dataset in the question is just for this dataset, hence,the population standard deviation is suitable for this dataset.

Part B

This is outrightly a population distribution of all the students in the middle school, So, the spread of the height of all students about a mean is best indicated using the population standard deviation.

Hope this Helps!!!

Which calculation will ALWAYS give a result greater than 1? A.5 × a number less than 1 B.4/9+ a fraction less than 12 C. 1 3/4 -
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

  C.  1 3/4 - (a fraction less than 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your number sense should be able to help you with this one.

A. 5 × 1/10 = 1/2, not a number greater than 1

B. 4/9 + 1/3 = 7/9, not a number greater than 1

C. 1 3/4 -1/2 = 1 1/4, a number greater than 1 (see below for more explanation)

D. 7/8 × 1/2 = 7/16, not a number greater than 1.

__

<em>More explanation</em>

Let x represent a number less than 3/4. Then we want to make sure that ...

  y = 1 3/4 - x

will be greater than 1.

Solving for x, we get ...

  x = 1 3/4 - y

Applying the requirement that x < 3/4, we have ...

  x < 3/4

  (1 3/4 -y) < 3/4

  1 3/4 < y + 3/4 . . . . . . add y

  1 < y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3/4

We see that the condition on x makes sure that y is always greater than 1.

6) A standard deck has 52 cards, and contains 13 cards of each of the four suits: diamonds, spades, hearts, and clubs. What is t
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

\dfrac{12}{51}\cong\dfrac{4}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 52 cards in a deck and 13 cards of each suit.

The probability of picking a diamond in a complete deck of cards is:

\dfrac {13}{52}

Or the probability is 13 put of 52.

Since you took out 1 diamond card already there would be only 51 cards left and 12 diamond cards left. So you would have a probability of:

\dfrac{12}{51}

If we simplify it you will have a probability of:

\dfrac{4}{17}
