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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago

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

Find the missing side length. Leave your answer as a radical in the simplest form
seraphim [82]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle with a 45° angle is an isosceles right triangle. That means the legs are both the same length. The side ratios of such a triangle are ...

  1 : 1 : √2

Multiplying these ratios by 12 gives ...

  12 : 12 : 12√2 = x : y : 12√2

The side lengths x and y are both 12 units.

GAMING In a video game, the user navigates a character across an unknown land using a map. On the map, the distance between the
soldi70 [24.7K]

The question is an illustration of scale drawing

The character have to travel 8.5 km in the game to visit all three destinations and return to their starting point

<h3>How to calculate the actual distance</h3>

The distance on the map are given as:

A =2 cm

B = 8 cm

C = 7 cm

The total distance on the map would be:

Total =2cm + 8cm + 7cm

Total =17cm

The actual distance between the store and the dungeon is 4 kilometers.

This means that:

B' =4km

So, we have:

Scale = B : B'

Scale = 8cm : 4km'

Represent the required actual distance with x.

So, we have:

17cm : x = 8cm : 4km

Express as fraction

\frac{x}{17} = \frac 48

Multiply both sides by 17

x = \frac 48 * 17

x = 8.5

Hence, the actual distance travelled is 8.5 km
