Select all of the true statements about the standard deviation of a quantitative variable. The standard deviation of a set of va

lues is equal to 0 if and only if all of the values are the same. The standard deviation of a group of values is a measure of how far the values are from the mean. Standard deviation is resistive to unusual values. Changing the units of a set of values (e.g., converting from inches to feet) does not affect its standard deviation. If a set of values has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation that is not 0, then removing a data point with a value of 0 will have no effect on the standard deviation. Standard deviation is never negative.

Answer:

The standard deviation of a set of values is equal to 0 if and only if all of the values are the same; The standard deviation of a group of values is a measure of how far the values are from the mean; Standard deviation is never negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is the distance, on average, that each point is from the mean.  The only way this value can be zero is if every value is the same as the mean, making all of the data values the same.

Since standard deviation is the square root of the variance, standard deviation is never negative.

Since the standard deviation is a measure of spread from the mean, which is not resistant to outliers, the standard deviation itself is not resistant to outliers.

Changing the units of a set of values involves multiplying by a constant.  For example, changing from feet to inches involves multiplying each data value by 12.  When we do this, the standard deviation will also be multiplied by the same constant.

For a set of values with mean of 0 and a standard deviation that is not 0, removing a data point with a value of 0 will have an effect on the standard deviation.  For example, the data set 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2 -3 has a mean of 0.  The standard deviation of the set is 2.  Removing the data point 0 increases the standard deviation to about 2.2.

Fed [463]

Answer:

let one even number be N

and another even number be N(N+2)

N(N+2)=360

n^2+2n-360=0

n^2+20n-18n-360=0

value of N= -20 ,18

but -20 not accepted

smaller number 18

Jamal is making two paintings using canvases that are similar rectangles. The length of the smaller canvas is 3 ft and the width
Alex787 [66]
Let's start with what we know:

Smaller canvas:
Length (L_{1}) = 3ft
Width (W_{1}) = 5ft

Larger canvas:
Length (L_{2}) = ?
Width (W_{2}) = 10ft

Since these are similar rectangles, we can cross-multiply to calculate the missing length. Here's that formula:

\frac{ L_{1} }{ L_{2} } =  \frac{ W_{1} }{ W_{2} }
So let's plug it all in from above:

\frac{ 3 }{ L_{2} } = \frac{ 5 }{ 10 }
Now we cross multiply by multiplying the top-left by the bottom-right and vice versa:

(3)(10) = (5)(L_{2})
30 = 5L_{2}
Now divide each side by 5 to isolate L_{2}

\frac{30}{5} =  \frac{ 5L_{2}}{5}
The 5s on the right cancel out, leaving us with:

6 =  L_{2}

So the length of the larger canvas is 6 ft
