Answer:

\sigma = 11.28 --- Standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Solving (a): Explain how the standard deviation is calculated.

<u>Start by calculating the mean</u>

To do this, we divide the sum of the products of grade and number of students by the total number of students;

i.e.

\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}

So, we have:

\bar x = \frac{50 * 1 + 57 * 2 + 60 * 4 + 65 * 3 +72 *3 + 75 * 12 + 77 * 10 + 81 * 6 + 83 * 6 + 88 * 9 + 90 * 12 + 92 * 12 +95 * 2 + 99 * 4 + 100 * 5}{1 + 2 + 4 + 3 +3 + 12 + 10 + 6 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 12 +2 + 4 + 5}

\bar x = \frac{7531}{91}

\bar x = 82.76

Next, calculate the variance using the following formula:

\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum f(x - \bar x)^2}{\sum f}

i.e subtract the mean from each dataset; take the squares; add up the squares; then divide the sum by the number of dataset

So, we have:

\sigma^2 = \frac{1 * (50 - 82.76)^2 +...................+ 5 * (100 - 82.76)^2}{91}

\sigma^2 = \frac{11580.6816}{91}

\sigma^2 = 127.26

Lastly, take the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation

\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}

\sigma = \sqrt{127.26}

\sigma = 11.28 --- approximated

<em>Hence, the standard deviation is approximately 11.28</em>

Considering the calculated mean (i.e. 82.76), the standard deviation (i.e. 11.28) is small and this means that the grade of the students are close to the average grade.

What is the true solution to the logarithmic equation below?<br> log₂ (6x)-log₂ (√x)=2
slega [8]

Answer:

The true solution is x=4/9

EXPLANATION

The logarithmic equation given to us is

We need to use the quotient rule of logarithms.

When we apply this law the expression becomes

We now take the antilogarithm of both sides to get

We square both sides to get,

We evaluate to obtain,

This simplifies to

We divide both sides by 36 to get

We simplify to get,
