Why don't we measure spread about the mean by simply averaging x − x , the deviations of individual data values from their mean?

skad [1K]

Answer:

Because this spread will add up to zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean defines the center of the data. Some values are below this center and some values are above this center.

For the values which are below the center (i.e. less than the mean), when mean is subtracted from these values, this results in negative numbers.

For the values which are above the center(i.e. greater than the mean), when mean is subtracted from these values, this results in positive numbers.

When these negative and positive numbers are summed together, as it is, they cancel out each other, leaving an answer equal to zero, which would be meaningless. As a spread of 0 would mean all data values are the same, when infact they aren't.

To avoid this, the difference of mean from the data value is squared, so that we can get all positive values, and then these values are added up together to calculate the spread of the data.

Conclusion:

The average of deviations of individual data from the mean will result in answer equal to zero, as a result they are squared first before finding the average.

A college student with a bachelors degree in nursing from an accredited institution has an 86.74% chance of getting hired full t

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

86.74% probability of a Madonna University nursing student getting hired within 6 months of graduation given that they complete their degree here.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

Compute the probability of a Madonna University nursing student getting hired within 6 months of graduation given that they complete their degree here.

In this problem, we have that:

Event A: Completing their degree there.

There is a 34.72% chance of a student interested in a nursing degree not making it through the program.

So 100 - 34.72% = 65.28% = 0.6528 probability of completing their degree. So P(A) = 0.6528.

Event B: Getting hired

86.74% chance of getting hired full time in a hospital setting within 6 months of graduation.

Completing their degree and getting hired:

$P(A \cap B) = 0.6528*0.8674$

Probability:

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.6528*0.8674}{0.6528} = 0.8674$

86.74% probability of a Madonna University nursing student getting hired within 6 months of graduation given that they complete their degree here.

Match the average rates of change of f(x) to the corresponding intervals.

spin [16.1K]

The average rates of change of f(x) and their corresponding intervals are given as:

Interval Rate of Change

[-5, -1] -8

[-4, -1] -7

[-3, 1] -4

[-2, 1] -3.

<h3>What is the explanation for the above?
</h3>

Step 1 - See Table Attached

Step 2 - State the formula for rate of change

The formula for rate of change is given as:
= [change in f(x)] / [change in x]

a) For interval [5, -1] ⇒

Rate of Change - [ f(1) - f(-5) ] / [-1 - (-5)]

= [-1 - 35] / [-1+5]

= -36 / 4

= - 8

b) For interval [-4, -1] ⇒

rate of change = [ f(-1) - f(-4) ] / [ -1 - (-4) ]

= [3 - 24] / [-1 + 4]

= -21/3

= - 7

c) interval [-3,1] ⇒

rate of change = [ f(1) - f(-3) ] / [ 1 - (-3) ]

= [-1 - 15] / [1 + 3]

= -16/4

= - 4

d) interval [-2,1] ⇒

rate of change = [f (1) - f(-2)] / [1 - (-2)]

= [ -1 - 8] / [1 + 2]

= -9/3

= -3
