Many traffic experts argue that the most important factor in accidents is not the average speed of cars but the amount of variat

ion. Suppose that the speeds of a sample of 200 cars were taken over a stretch of highway that has seen numerous accidents. Compute the standard deviation of the speeds in Excel file Q-14.xlsx.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Standard Deviation is the measure of how diferent a number is from the mean of the data set. It is the spread of a data set. To calculate it manually:

1) Find the mean of the data set. Mean, represented by μ, is the sum of all the values divided by the total number of elements forming the set;

2) Subtract each number with the Mean and square the result;

3) Add the differences and divide it by the total number of elements of the set;

4) Take the square root of the result and that is the <u>Standard</u> <u>Deviation.</u>

The calculations can be done by a calculator like Excel:

1) In each cell of a same column, write the data you want to know the deviation.

2) On the last cell, write: =stdev.p(A1:A10) or =stdev.s(A1:A10).

3) Press Enter. The deviation will appeared on the same cell.

The function STDEV.P is used when the data represents the entire population, whereas STDEV.S is used when the data is for a sample of the population. Inside the parenthesis, put the cells where your data is. For example, if you put your data in the column A, from cell 1 to cell 10, you write like it's written above.

Which expression does not belong with the other three? Explain your reasoning. 8 = x —2 3 = x ÷ 4 x − 6 = 5 x —3 = 9
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

  • 3 = x ÷ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given expressions:</u>

  • 8 = x - 2 ⇒ x = 8 + 2= 10
  • 3 = x ÷ 4  ⇒ x = 3*4 = 12
  • x - 6 = 5  ⇒ x = 5 + 6 = 11
  • x - 3 = 9  ⇒ x = 9 + 3 = 12

3 of them involves addition, one of them - multiplication

The second expression doesn't belong

Segment XY bisects angle WXZ and angle mZXY = 37 degrees. Find angle mWXY and angle mZXW
Vadim26 [7]

we know that

The angle bisector, is the line or line segment that divides the angle into two equal parts.

So

in this problem

m∠ZXW=m∠WXY+m∠ZXY

m∠WXY=m∠ZXY

Part a) <u>Find the value of m∠WXY</u>

m∠ZXY=37°-----> given value

so

m∠WXY=m∠ZXY=37°

therefore

<u>the answer part a)</u>

The measure of angle WXY is equal to 37°

Part b) <u>Find the value of m∠ZXW</u>

m∠ZXW=m∠WXY+m∠ZXY

m∠ZXW=37°+37°=74°

therefore

<u>the answer part b) is</u>

the measure of angle ZXW is 74 degrees
