Answer:

\sigma = 12.5 ---- sample standard deviation

\sigma^2 = 157.2 ---- sample variance

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): The sample variance

First, we calculate the midpoint of each class (this is the average of the limits)

So, we have:

x_1 = \frac{56 + 64}{2} = 60

x_2 = \frac{65 + 73}{2} = 69

And so on

So, the table becomes:

\begin{array}{cc}{x} & {f} & {60} & {11} & {69} & {15} & {78} & {14} & {87} & {4} & {96} & 11 \ \end{array}

Calculate the mean

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

\bar x = \frac{60*11+69*15+78*14+87*4+96*11}{11+15+14+4+11}

\bar x = \frac{4191}{55}

\bar x = 76.2

The variance is:

\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum f(x - \bar x)^2}{\sum f - 1}

So, we have:

\sigma^2 = \frac{(60 - 76.2)^2*11+(69 - 76.2)^2*15+(78 - 76.2)^2 *14+(87 - 76.2)^2*4+(96 - 76.2)^2*11}{11+15+14+4+11-1}

\sigma^2 = \frac{8488.8}{54}

\sigma^2 = 157.2

The sample standard deviation is:

\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2

\sigma = \sqrt{157.2

\sigma = 12.5

Solving (b): The sample variance

In (a), we calculate the sample variance to be:

\sigma^2 = 157.2

Which equation represents the average of the x-intercepts for 4x^2-24x+20
vazorg [7]
Number of x intercepts in this equation is 2 because max power in the function is 2. number of x intercepts is determined by "highest power".

let x1 represent first x intercept and
let x2 represent second x intercept

Formula for finding average of x intercepts is logicaly:
Avg = (x1 + x2)/2

we want to find x1 and x2
4x^2 - 24x + 20 = 0
x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0


x1 = 5
x2 = 1

Avg = 3
