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.

-(x+3) = 2x-6 what is x
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first you make sure to multiply the parenthesis by the negative so then it would be,

-x-3=2x-6

Then you add the -3 from the right to the other side

so, -x=2x-3

Then you want all the X variables to one side so you subtract the 2x to both sides.

so, -3x=-3

divide both by -3

x=1
