Six different​ second-year medical students at Bellevue Hospital measured the blood pressure of the same person. The systolic re

adings​ (in mmHg) are listed below. Find the​ range, variance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. If the​ subject's blood pressure remains constant and the medical students correctly apply the same measurement​ technique, what should be the value of the standard​ deviation?

Answer:

Range=14

\sigma^2 =32.4

\sigma = 5 .7

The standard deviation will remain unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Data: 136, 129, 141, 139, 138, 127

Solving (a): The range

This is calculated as:

Range = Highest - Least

Where:

Highest = 141; Least = 127

So:

Range=141-127

Range=14

Solving (b): The variance

First, we calculate the mean

\bar x = \frac{1}{n} \sum x

\bar x = \frac{1}{6} (136+ 129+ 141+ 139+ 138+ 127)

\bar x = \frac{1}{6} *810

\bar x = 135

The variance is calculated as:

\sigma^2 =\frac{1}{n-1}\sum(x - \bar x)^2

So, we have:

\sigma^2 =\frac{1}{6-1}*[(136 - 135)^2 +(129 - 135)^2 +(141 - 135)^2 +(139 - 135)^2 +(138 - 135)^2 +(127 - 135)^2]

\sigma^2 =\frac{1}{5}*[162]

\sigma^2 =32.4

Solving (c): The standard deviation

This is calculated as:

\sigma = \sqrt {\sigma^2 }

\sigma = \sqrt {32.4}

\sigma = 5 .7 --- approximately

Solving (d): With the stated condition, the standard deviation will remain unchanged.

30 + 6p = 7 (p+ 6 ) -5<br> Please answer
melamori03 [73]

Answer: p=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for p, you want to isolate the variable, get p alone. You would use different algebraic properties to do so.

30+6p=7p+42-5

30+6p=7p+37

-7=p

p=-7

Given h(x) = x2 – 5x + 7, find the following.<br> a. h(2)<br> b.h(-5)<br> c. h(-8)
azamat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

h(x) = x² – 5x + 7

h(-2) = (-2)² – 5(-2) + 7 =4+10+7 =21

h(-5) = (-5)² – 5(-5) + 7= 25+25+7 =57

h(-8) = (-8)² – 5(-8) + 7 = 64+40+7=111

HELP YOU WILL GET 30 POINTS Naoya read a book cover to cover in a single session, at a rate of 55 pages per hour. After reading
Bess [88]
<h3>Answers:</h3>

total number of pages = 550 pages

total amount of time to read the full book = 10 hours

======================================================

Work Shown:

1 hour = 55 pages

4 hours = 220 pages ... multiply both sides by 4

After 4 hours, he had read 220 pages. Since he has 330 still left to read, this brings the total to 220+330 = 550 pages overall

550/55 = 10 hours is the total amount of time needed to read the entire book at a rate of 55 pages per hour. This is assuming the rate is kept constant.

While 10 hours is a lot, it's somewhat plausible to get the full book read in one continuous session. Though he is better off taking (short) breaks every now and then.
