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.

Carolyn leaves at 2:15 and drives 40 miles per hour. Marcel leaves at 2:45 and drives at 65 miles per hour. If they are travelin
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Marcel leaves 30 minutes after Carolyn, leaving between them a gap of 40mph*0.5h=20miles
To catch up with the 20miles, Marcel uses the extra (65-40=25)mph that he has.
Therefore 20m/25mph=0.8h=0.8*60min=48minutes after 2:45, which is at 3:33, Marcel catches up to Carolyn.

An initial population of 20 rabbits triples every half year. The function f(x) = 20(3^x) gives the population after x half-perio
luda_lava [24]

The number of rabbits that there will be in 3 years is 14,580.

<h3>What is the number of rabbits in 3 years?</h3>

The growth rates of the rabbits is an exponential growth. The formula that can be used to represent the population of the rabbits in 3 years is:

f(x) = 20(3^x)

Where x represents the number of years. The number of years is 6(3 x 2)

20 x 3^6 = 14,580
