Answer:

First we need to find the mean and standard deviation of the given data.

The mean and standard deviation are given below:

Mean=\frac{50+46+54+51+29+52+48+54+47+48}{10}=\frac{479}{10}=47.9

Standard-deviation=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1} }

                             =\sqrt{\frac{(50-47.9)^2+(46-47.9)^2+(54-47.9)^2+...+(48-47.9)^2}{10-1} }

                             =7.20

We have:

\bar{x} \pm s=(47.9 \pm 7.20)

                     =(47.9-7.20, 47.9+7.20)

                     =(40.7, 55.1)      

Therefore, the percentage of values that lies within one standard deviation of the mean is:

\frac{9}{10} \times 100 =90\%

The expected percentage of values within one standard deviation of the mean according to normal distribution is 68%.

Therefore, the observed percentage of values within one standard deviation of the mean is much higher than the expected percentage of a normal distribution.

Which expression represents the distance between the points (a, 0) and (0, 5) on a coordinate grid?
Mashcka [7]
 \displaystyle d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_0)^2+(y_1-y_0)^2} - d is distance, (x_1,y_1) and (x_0,y_0) two points on a coordinate grid.

In our case :
(x_1,y_1)=(a,0)\\(x_0,y_0)=(0,5)

d= \sqrt{(a-0)^2+(0-5)^2} = \sqrt{a^2+25}

What Is the Answer To number 1 ?
DochEvi [55]

Answer: 4 apples for $3.64


Step-by-step explanation:

The best buy is going to be the one that costs the least. To figure this out, you divide the number of apples by the price. (do not round)

4/3.64=1.09

9/8.01=1.23

14/12.43=1.12

24/21.12=1.13

As you can see, the 4 apples for $3.64 is the better choice since the number is the least.
