Step-by-step explanation:
= 5 • ( 4• x )
= 5 ( 4x )
= 20x
You don't even have to look up the definition of 'standard deviation'. You only
have to remember that 'smaller standard deviation' means 'less spread-out'.
First, let's find the mean (average). It's not supposed to change:
1/7th of (65 + 71 + 77 + 80 + 82 + 90 + 96) = 561/7 = <u>80 and 1/7</u> .
Now, just pick 7 scores that total 561 and are all bunched up.
The easiest way would be 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 81 .
But that's so easy that it feels like cheating.
Let's say <u>77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, and 84</u> .
See 5/6 is obviously more than 1/2 so 4/8 works
also 3/8 or 2/8 or 1/8
if you want all fractions then
5/6=x/8
times 24 both sides
20=3x
divide 3
6 and 2/3=x
basically x/8 such that x<6 and 2/3
examples
6/8
5/8
4/8
3/8
2/8
1/8
I would use the odd ones since the even ones simplify to non-eight denomenators
i can't comment so someone else is going to have to answer
but they need the whole page to answer this question.
