ioda

He could put 5 in one and another 5 in the other. So just divide so he could put 2 snails in 5 different tanks and so on

Set A of six numbers has a standard deviation of 3 and set B of four numbers has a standard deviation of 5. Both sets of numbers

Alenkinab [10]

Given:

$\sigma_A=3$

$n_A=6$

$\sigma_B=5$

$n_B=4$

$\overline{x}_A=\overline{x}_B$

To find:

The variance. of combined set.

Solution:

Formula for variance is

$\sigma^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n}$ ...(i)

Using (i), we get

$\sigma_A^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2}{n_A}$

$(3)^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2}{6}$

$9=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2}{6}$

$54=\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2$

Similarly,

$\sigma_B^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{n_B}$

$(5)^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{4}$

$25=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{4}$

$100=\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2$

Now, after combining both sets, we get

$\sigma^2=\dfrac{\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_A)^2+\sum (x_i-\overline{x}_B)^2}{n_A+n_B}$

$\sigma^2=\dfrac{54+100}{6+4}$

$\sigma^2=\dfrac{154}{10}$

$\sigma^2=15.4$

Therefore, the variance of combined set is 15.4.

Find the area of a triangle using A = 1/2bh where b= 16mm and h= 5mm

Naya [18.7K]

The formula is right there in the question. Just write '16' in place of 'b' and write '5' in place of 'h', then do the multiplication and you have the area. / / / If you don't get 40 square mm then you have a mistake somewhere.
