ds" and request the standard deviation of the underlying data. ​(a) Suppose the data come from a sample whose standard deviation is 2 inches. How many standard deviations is 26 inches from 16 ​inches? ​(b) Is 26 inches far away from a mean of 16 ​inches? ​(c) Suppose the standard deviation of the underlying data is 7 inches.

Answer: Hello!

In a normal distribution, between the mean and the mean plus the standar deviation, there is a 34.1% of the data set, between the mean plus the standar deviation, and the mean between two times the standard deviation, there is a 16.2% of the data set, and so on.

If our mean is 16 inches, and the measure is 26 inches, then the difference is 10 inches between them.

a) if the standar deviation is 2 inches, then you are 10/2 = 5 standar deviations from the mean.

b) yes, is really far away from the mean, in a normal distribution a displacement of 5 standar deviations has a very small probability.

c) Now the standar deviation is 7, so now 26 is in the range between 1 standar deviation and 2 standar deviations away from the mean.

Then this you have a 16% of the data, then in this case, 26 inches is not far away from the mean.

Marina babysits her neighbors' kids once a week and earns $40 each night. She loves coffee so she treats herself three times a w
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

24weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

So if she spends 5$ three times a week she spends 15$ a week

She babysits once a week for 40$

That means that she saves 25$ from babystitting each week

As she already has saved 200$, she only lacks 600$ for the purchase

600$ / (25$/week) = 24 weeks

If she stops buying coffee it will instead only take her 15 weeks to buy a new laptop

Which of the following relations is NOT a function?
topjm [15]
According to Wikipedia: "<span>In mathematics, a function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output."

So based of this we need to look for a set where one of the x values or the y values is the same, and the other number is different.

Answer:
B.
(1,4) and (1,1) both have the same x, but different y!
