Answer:

The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are.

Its symbol is σ (the greek letter sigma)

The formula is easy: it is the square root of the Variance. So now you ask, "What is the Variance?"

Variance

The Variance is defined as:

The average of the squared differences from the Mean.

To calculate the variance follow these steps:

Work out the Mean (the simple average of the numbers)

Then for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result (the squared difference).

Then work out the average of those squared differences. (Why Square?)

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of x and 2 is less than or equal to 4

2x≤4

I'm not sure how else to help you in this situation, without you providing me with more information. If you want the solution for x, you would just divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable, or 2, resulting in the inequality:

x ≤ 2

Hope this helps! Comment if you need to add info or have any more questions about this problem.

Can synthetic division always be used instead of polynomial long division?

Inessa05 [86]

Yes, there is an expanded algorithm for synthetic division involving nonlinear and non-monic divisors (check out the w.i.k.i.pedia page on "synthetic division", under the "Expanded sythetic division" section).

1. Find the 90% Cl for the population mean if sample

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

mean (μ) = 12, SD(σ) = 2.3, sample size (n) = 65

Given that the confidence level (c) = 90% = 0.9

α = 1 - c = 0.1

α/2 = 0.05

The z score of α/2 is the same as the z score of 0.45 (0.5 - 0.05) which is equal to 1.65

The margin of error (E) is given as:

$E=Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =1.65*\frac{2.3}{\sqrt{65} } =0.47$

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 12 ± 0.47 = (11.53, 12.47)

mean (μ) = 23, SD(σ) = 12, sample size (n) = 45

Given that the confidence level (c) = 88% = 0.88

α = 1 - c = 0.12

α/2 = 0.06

The z score of α/2 is the same as the z score of 0.44 (0.5 - 0.06) which is equal to 1.56

The margin of error (E) is given as:

$E=Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =1.56*\frac{12}{\sqrt{45} } =2.8$

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 23 ± 2.8 = (22.2, 25.8)
