Your calculator's cubic regression function can tell you the equation is
... f(x) = 2x³ + 5x² -12x = x(x +4)(2x-3)
The x-intercepts are -4, 0, +1.5.
_____
If you want to solve this "by hand", you can first of all recognize that since there is an x-intercept at 0, the cubic will only have three coefficients. That is, you can write the equation as
... f(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx
Substituting the given points (except (0, 0)) gives three linear equations in a, b, c.
... -a +b -c = 15 . . . . . for x=-1
... a + b + c = -5 . . . . for x=1
... 8a +4b +2c = 12 . . for x=2
adding the first two equations gives 2b=10, or b=5. Now, you can reduce the system to
... a + c = -10
... 4a +c = -4
Subtracting the first of these equations from the second gives 3a=6, or a=2. That tells you c=-12 (from a+c=10).
Then your equation is
... f(x) = x(2x² +5x -12)
Factoring by any of the usual techniques, or graphing, or using the quadratic formula will tell you the zeros (x-intercepts) are as above.
_____
Since the input values are sequential, you can also develop the function from differences of the output values. Those are 15, 0, -5, 12. First differences are -15, -5, +17. Second differences are +10, +22. The third difference is 12. Using the first of these differences in appropriate places in the interpolating polynomial formula, we have
... f(x) = 15 + (x+1)(-15 + (x)/2·(10 + (x-1)/3·(12))) = 2x³ +5x² -12x . . . . as above
Answer:
The relative variability is almost equal in both samples a slight greater variability can be noticed in the first sample.
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient of variation of a sample is defined as the ratio between the mean standard deviation and the sample mean. And it represents the percentage relation of the variation of the data with respect to the average.
In the case of the first sample you have:
In the case of the second sample you have:
The relative variability is almost equal in both samples a slight greater variability can be noticed in the first sample.
