Compute the standard deviation of the following set of data to the nearest whole number:

Mathematics

Klio2033 [76]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, and the variance is found by using the mean. So we will do that first. I will use the population variance as opposed to the sample variance since our set of numbers is small.

The mean: 8 + 12 + 15 + 17 + 18 = 70 and divide that by 5 to get

\bar{x}=14 and use this to find the variance in the formula:

s^2=\frac{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})^2}{n} it is a bit difficult to enter that formula in correctly, but here's how it works mathematically:

s^2=\frac{(8-14)^2+(12-14)^2+(15-14)^2+(17-14)^2+(18-14)^2}{5}

Squaring this ensures us that we don't end up with zero, which would be useless.

s^2=\frac{36+4+1+9+16}{5} so

s^2=13.2 which means that the standard deviation is

s = 3.633

(If you do it with n-1 = 4 in the denominator of the variance, you get a standard deviation of 4.062)

Which are solutions of x2 + 5x = 2? Check all that apply.
ANEK [815]

we have

x^{2} +5x=2

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

x^{2} +5x+2.5^{2}=2+2.5^{2}

x^{2} +5x+6.25=2+6.25

x^{2} +5x+6.25=8.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+2.5)^{2}=8.25

Square Root both sides

(x+2.5)=(+/-)\sqrt{8.25}

x=(+/-)\sqrt{8.25}-2.5

\sqrt{8.25}=\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2}

substitute

x=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2}-2.5

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the solutions are

x1=-2.5+\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2} or x1=\frac{-5+\sqrt{33}}{2}

x2=-2.5-\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2} or x2=\frac{-5-\sqrt{33}}{2}

The diagram shows a plastic solid made by joining a hemisphere to a cone. The radius of the hemisphere is 5cm and the height of
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

575.8 cubic cm

Step-by-step explanation:

V(cone) = 1/3· π · r² · h

V = 1/3 · π · 25 · 12

V = 4(25)π or 100π = 314

V(half-sphere) = (4/3 · π r³)/2

V = (4/3π · 125) = 261.8
