In this problem, we explore the effect on the standard deviation of adding the same constant to each data value in a data set. C

onsider the following data set.
8, 16, 14, 8, 16

(a) Use the defining formula, the computation formula, or a calculator to compute s. (Enter your answer to four decimal places.)

(b) Add 8 to each data value to get the new data set 16, 24, 22, 16, 24. Compute s. (Enter your answer to four decimal places.)

(c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b). In general, how do you think the standard deviation of a data set changes if the same constant is added to each data value?

Adding the same constant c to each data value results in the standard deviation remaining the same.

Adding the same constant c to each data value results in the standard deviation increasing by c units.

Adding the same constant c to each data value results in the standard deviation decreasing by c units.

There is no distinct pattern when the same constant is added to each data value in a set.

Answer:

3.6661

3.6661

A, Adding a constant does nothing to the standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm gonna assume s=standard deviation

The standard deviation is just the square root of the second moment minus the first moment squared

Because we were not told otherwise I think it's pretty safe to assume that all events are equally likely

Let's start by calculating the first moment (AKA The mean)

1/5(8+16+14+8+16)= 12.4

Let's then find the second moment

1/5(8²+16²+14²+8²+16²)= 167.2

√(167.2-12.4²)=3.6661

b.

While I could just tell you that adding something to the standard deviation (and the variane as well) doesn't do anything let's calculate it for fun

same process

.2(16+24+22+16+24)= 20.4

.2(16²+24²+22²+16²+24²)=429.6

√(429.6-20.4²)= 3.6661

For which of the following situations would a linear function be a reasonable choice for a mathematical model?
Airida [17]
The third option is the best fit for the application of a linear model.

In the first option, there is likely to be a correlation but it cannot be a linear one as goals are missed even from inside the keeper's box.

In the second option, it is safe to assume that each person will at least 2 other so this will follow an exponential model.

In the third option, the stopping distance is given by the equation of motion:
s = ut + 1/2 x at²
And this shows that the distance varies linearly with speed.

You are a contractor and charge $45 for a site visit plus an additional $24 per hour for each hour you spend working at the site
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Equation: 810= (90 + 24y)

y = 30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Site visit = $45 per site

cost per hour worked = $24

for <u>each </u>work site, the total amount of money earned

= site visit fee + cost for working

But the question mentions TWO sites, hence there will be two site visits. Therefore for TWO sites, we have to account for TWO site visit fee.

Therefore for TWO sites, the total amount of money earned

= site 1 visit fee + site 2 visit fee + cost for working

= (2 x site visit fee) +  cost for working  ------ Equation 1

We are further given that we worked y hours at the hourly work rate of $24 per hour.

Hence the cost for working

= y hours x hourly rate

= y   x   $24

= $24y   (substituting this into equation 1 above)

for TWO sites, the total amount of money earned

= (2 x site visit fee) +  cost for working

= (2 x $45) +  $24y

= $90 + $24y

= $(90 + 24y)

We are also given that we have to earn $810 for two sites, hence

810 = 90 + 24y    

810 - 90 = 24y

24y = 720

y = 720/24

y = 30 hours
