Maybe because you're finding the "difference" between the two numbers. We could also question why the answer to an addition problem is called sum.
Well, 'sum'body said that's what they should be called a long time ago, that's why we're using that term to call them now.
Total divided by number of rows=number per row
63/7=9
9 per row
Solve for x by cross multiplying
Exact form: x= 191/7
Decimal form :x=27.28571428
Mixed number form:x=27 2/7
Answer:
a) mean = 0.2
variance = 0.0391
standard deviation = 0.198
b) The average hurricane is aprox. category 2.* (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the mean, variance, and standard deviation, let us for a table for the data:
level x
1 0.411
2 0.278
3 0.221
4 0.080
5 0.010
Calculating the mean (
)

∴Mean = 0.2
level x
1 0.411 0.211 0.0445
2 0.278 0.078 0.0608
3 0.221 0.021 0.000441
4 0.080 -0.12 0.0144
5 0.010 -0.19 0.0361


standard deviation = √(variance)
Standard deviation = √(0.0391)
Standard deviation = 0.198
b) the average hurricane is aprox. category 2 (B)
Answer:
0.920
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate this, we proceed to the t-table
Using degree of freedom 5 and significance level of 0.2, the t-value is 0.920
