There has been much media coverage of the high cost of medicinal drugs in the United States. One concern is the large variation

from pharmacy to pharmacy. To investigate, a consumer advocacy group took a random sample of 100 pharmacies around the country and recorded the price (in dollars per 100 pills) of Prozac. Compute the range, variance, and standard deviation of the prices. Discuss what these statistics tell you.

Answer:

Range = 25.35

Variance = 29.46

Standard deviation = 5.43

The variation in price of Prozac is high

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of the data :

Maximum - Minimum.

121.2 - 95.35 = 25.35

The variance, s :

s² = Σ(X - m²) / n - 1

Mean, m = Σx / n

X = individual data point

m = mean of data

n = sample size

Using a calculator of save time and ensure accuracy :

s² = 29.45522

The standard deviation, s

s = sqrt(variance)

s = sqrt(s²)

s = sqrt(29.45522)

s = 5.42726.

The range, variance and standard deviation, all measure the degree of variation in a dataset. The values of these statistical measure obtain for the price of 1 product across different pharmaceutical stores, suggests thatvthe variation in price is high;

With a range of about 25.35 and standard deviation of 5.43

Work out the lengths of side a and side b 8cm and 5 cm 1 triangle 17cm and 12 cm on the other triangle pythagoras
Viktor [21]

Answer:

a = 9.4 cm

b = 12.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the image uploaded for diagram;

For the first diagram, side length a is calculated as follows;

a² = 8²  +  5²

a² = 64  +  25

a² = 89

a = √89

a = 9.4 cm ( approximated to 1 decimal place)

For the second diagram, side length b is calculated as follows;

b² = 17²  -  12²

b² = 145

b = √145

b = 12.0 cm (approximated to 1 decimal place)

Which of the following is a consequence of increasing variability?​ Group of answer choices ​A.The distance from one score to an
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from one score to another tends to increase, and a single score tends to provide a less accurate representation of the entire distribution.

Consider normal distribution it has increasing trend from -Inf to the mean. But has no probability at any point. But if you consider binomial distribution then you will get the information at any integer of its range, but not all values of real line. That is you will not have information on (0,1) so there you cannot comment for increment of that distribution.
