Answer:

Variance = 579 and Standard deviation = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is the average estimated hours of a person in the U.S. spent playing video games per year from 2002 to 2012.

71, 80, 82, 78, 80, 91, 107, 121, 125, 131, 142.

We have to find the variance and standard deviation.

Formula for standard deviation :

\sqrt{\frac{\sum (x-\bar{x})}{n}}

Using the step by step approach to find the standard deviation.

1. Calculate the mean

\bar{x}=\frac{\sum x}{n}

                 = \frac{1108}{11}

                 = 100.73

2. Subtract the mean from each value and square them then add all the squared result.

Time (x)                      x-\bar{x}                                       (x-\bar{x})^{2}

71                                 -29.73                           883.8729

80                                -20.73                           429.7329

82                                -18.73                            350.8129

78                                -22.73                           516.6529

80                                -20.73                           429.7329

91                                 -9.73                               94.6729

107                                6.27                                39.3129

121                               20.27                              410.8729

125                              24.27                              589.0329

131                               30.27                               916.2729

<u>142                               41.27                              1,703.2129</u>

                                                                          6,364.1819

3. To calculate Variance (S²) divide this number by the total number of the data

Variance (S²) = \frac{6364.1819}{11}

Variance =  578.56 ≈ 579

4. For standard deviation

Standard deviation = \sqrt{579}

                                = 24.0624188 ≈ 24

Variance = 579 and Standard deviation = 24

Answer:

Population variance 579

Population standard deviation 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The average estimated hours a person in the United States spent playing video games per year from 2002 to 2012 were 71, 80, 82, 78, 80, 91, 107, 121, 125, 131, and 142.

The population variance is given by:

\sigma^2=\frac{\sum(x-\mu)^2}{n}

\mu=\frac{71+80+82+78+80+91+107+121+125+131+142}{11}

\mu=\frac{1108}{11}

This implies that:

\sigma^2=\frac{(71-\frac{1108}{11})^2+(80-\frac{1108}{11})^2+(82-\frac{1108}{11})^2+(78-\frac{1108}{11})^2+(80-\frac{1108}{11})^2+...+(142-\frac{1108}{11})^2}{11}

\sigma^2=\frac{70006}{121} =579 to the nearest whole number

The population standard deviation is

\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{70006} }{11}=24 to the nearest whole number.

(19) Geometry pls help
gogolik [260]
Yes it is possible to prove this is a parallelogram.

XN = NZ means the diagonal XZ has been bisected
The same goes for diagonal WY (because NY = NW)

Furthermore, we have the pair of vertical angles XNY and ZNW which are congruent

Through SAS, we can say that triangles XNY and ZNW are congruent

Using CPCTC, we can get to the fact that angle NWZ = angle NYX which are alternate interior angles leading to proving that XY || WZ

----------------------

If you repeat those steps above, but focus on triangles WNX and YNZ, we can prove that XW || YZ

----------------------

After proving that XY || WZ and XW || YZ, this is enough to prove we have a parallelogram as the opposite sides are parallel.

Solve the following system of equations using the substitution method.
sergey [27]

Answer:

y=1; x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution:

x=2y

2x+5y=9

=> if x=2y, plug in the x value into other equation, so

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2(2y)+5y=9

4y+5y=9

9y=9

y=1

You have the Y value, so now solve for X

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

plug in y value to x=2y

so x=2(1)

x=2
