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.

Evaluate n+2x2 when n=3 and x=−2.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

When n=3 and x=−2  the answer is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let p (n,x) be the function such that

p (n,x) = n + 2x^{2}

To Find:

p (n,x) = p ( 3, -2) = ?

Solution:

p (n,x) = n + 2x^{2}

Substituting n = 3 and x = -2 we get

p (3, -2) = 3 + 2(-2)^{2}

Negative square gives positive number therefore (-2)²=4

p (3, -2) = 3 + 2\times 4

p (3, -2) = 3 + 8\\p (3, -2) = 11

When n=3 and x=−2  the answer is 11.
