Find the variance of the set of data to the nearest tenth: 5, 8, 2, 9, 4

Mathematics

Orlov [11]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Therefore the variance on the data set is 8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the variance of the set of data we first need to calculate the mean of the set, which is given by:

mean = sum of each element / number of elements

mean = (5 + 8 + 2 + 9 + 4)/5 = 5.6

We can now find the variance by applying the following formula:

s^{2} = \frac{\sum_{(i=1)}^n(x_i - mean)^2}{n -1}

So applying the data from the problem we have:

s² = [(5 - 5.6)² + (8 - 5.6)² + (2 - 5.6)² + (9 - 5.6)² + (4 - 5.6)²]/(5 - 1)

s² = [(-0.6)² + (2.4)² + (-3.6)² + (3.4)² + (-1.6)²]/4

s² = [0.36 + 5.76 + 12.96 + 11.56 + 2.56]/4 = 8.3

Therefore the variance on the data set is 8.3

vivado [14]

Answer:A. The theoretical probability for pink is 95/185 or about 51.35%

B. The theoretical probability for brown is 90/185 or about 47.82%.

C. To find the experimental probability, we will make another fraction. The number of outcomes will be the numerator and the total will be the denominator.

Pink  36/69 = 52.17%

Brown  33/69 = 47.82%
