The answer for this problem is 7
Mean = (8 + 9 + 10 + 16 + 17) / 5 = 60/5 = 12.
x - mean:
8 - 12 = -4, -4² = 16
<span>9 - 12 = -3, -3² = 9
</span>
<span>10 - 12 = -2, -2² = 4
</span>
<span>16- 12 = 4, 4² = 16</span>
<span>17- 12 = -5, -5² = 25
</span>
Sum of the squares = 16 + 9 + 4 + 16 +25 = 70
Variance = 70/5 = 14
Variance = 14
-(4/5)*(3/7)*(15/16)*(-14/9) [two negatives make one positive]
=(4*3*15*14)/(5*7*16*9) [simplify 4/16]
=(3*15*14)/(5*7*4*9)
=(3*3*14)/(7*4*9)
=(14)/(7*4)
=(2)/(4)
=1/2
Answer: A. 3 red squares to 6 green squares
Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1) Find a common factor between 15 and 30. For this problem, I'll pick 5. Divide both numbers by this common factor.
15/5=3 red squares
30/5=6 green squares
<em>3 red squares to 6 green squares</em>
Method 2) Find the greatest common factor between 15 and 30. The GCF is 15. Divide both numbers by the GCF.
15/15=1
30/15=2
This leaves you with a ratio of 1 red square to 2 green squares. 1:2 is equivalent to 3:6
<em>3 red squares to 6 green squares</em>
