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

Mathematics

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)

Find the standard form of the equation of the circle with endpoints of a diameter at the points (3,8) and (-7,2)
poizon [28]

(x+2)^{2}+(y-5)^{2}= 34

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}=r^{2}

where (a , b) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

The centre is at the midpoint of the endpoints and the radius is the distance from the centre to either of the 2 endpoints

Using the midpoint formula

midpoint = [\frac{1}{2}(xx_{1}+x_{2}, \frac{1}{2}(y_{1}+y_{2}

where (x_{1},y_{1}=(3,8) and (x_{2},y_{2}=(-7,2)

centre = (\frac{1}{2}(3-7),\frac{1}{2}(8+2)) = (-2,5)

Calculate r using the distance formula

r = √(x_{2}-x_{1})²+(y_{2}-y_{1})²)

= √((3+2)²+(8-5)²) = √(25+9) = √34 ⇒ r² =(√34)² = 34

equation of circle is : (x+2)²+(y-5)² = 34
