Answer:

Missing year return = 26%

Standard deviation = 18.38%

Explanation:

Since the average return of the stock is the mean of all returns over the period. The stock's return for the missing year can be determined by:

10.4=\frac{17-24+25+8+x}{5} \\x=26

The standard deviation is given by:

\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x_i-X)^2}{n}}\\\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{(0.17-0.104)^2+(-0.24-0.104)^2+(0.25-0.104)^2+(0.08-0.104)^2+(0.26-0.104)^2}{5}}\\\sigma =0.1838 = 18.38\%

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Pitch

Explanation:

Enrico has trouble differentiating between a tuba's sound and a piccolo's sound. Although a piccolo generates sound waves that are much briefer, quicker than a tuba, he has trouble tracking the variations in the pitch of such sounds.

For music, a note's pitch indicates the note's high or low. It is measured for physics in a Hertz unit. A note that vibrates at 261 Hz is induced by pulsing sound waves at 261 times per second.
