A sample of 13 sheets of cardstock is randomly selected and the following thicknesses are measured in millimeters. Give a point

estimate for the population standard deviation. Round your answer to three decimal places. 1.96,1.81,1.97,1.83,1.87,1.84,1.85,1.94,1.96,1.81,1.86,1.95,1.89

<h3>Answer:  0.061</h3>

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

Explanation:

Add up the values to get

1.96+1.81+1.97+1.83+1.87+1.84+1.85+1.94+1.96+1.81+1.86+1.95+1.89= 24.54

Then divide over 13 (the number of values) to get 24.54/13 = 1.8876923 which is approximate.

So the mean is approximately 1.8876923

---------------------

Now make a spreadsheet as shown below

We have the first column as the x values, which are the original numbers your teacher provided. The second column is of the form (x-M)^2, where M is the mean we computed earlier. We subtract off the mean and square the result.

After we compute that column of (x-M)^2 values, we add them up to get what is shown in the highlighted yellow cell at the bottom of the column.

That sum is approximately 0.04403076924

Next, we divide that over n-1 = 13-1 = 12

0.04403076924 /12 = 0.00366923077

That is the sample variance. Apply the square root to this to get the sample standard deviation. This is the point estimate of the population standard deviation. As the name implies, it works for samples that estimate population parameters.

sqrt(0.00366923077) = 0.06057417576822

This rounds to 0.061 which is the final answer.

The volume of a cone is 1/3 that of a cylinder when the radius and height are the same (v= 1/3(pi)(r)^2(h). What is the volume o
Ira Lisetskai [31]

\mathfrak{\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Surface Areas and Volumes.

Since, Volume of cone = 1/3 π r^2 h,

here, r = 10 Inches and h= 12 inches, also π =3.14

so, VOC = 1/3 π (10)^2 × (20)

VOC = 1/3(3.14)(100)(20)= 2093.33 inch^3

=> so the volume of the cone is 2093.33 cubic inches.

PLEASE HELP ME IM BEGGING YOU IT IS EASY Consider the two groups listed below. Which statement describes the sets? (2 points) ho
miskamm [114]
Note that mailing address is unique, but houses are not, meaning that you can't have house A and house B both referencing the same address.

So, in order to have a valid function, any two points on the function cannot have the same x value that lands on different y.

With this property mentioned, it's clear to see that
(house, address) is NOT a function; however, (address, house) is a function, since same x lands on multiple y values is a valid onto function. (a house that have multiple addresses)

Find the value of z such that 0.96420.9642 of the area lies between −z−z and z. round your answer to two decimal places.
Brut [27]
If z represents the variable of the standard normal distribution curve N(0,1), which is symmetrical about z=0, then we look for
P(z)-P(-z)=0.9642=1-2P(-z) => P(-z)=(1-0.9642)/2=0.0179
=>
-z=-2.099192
=> z=2.099192
Check:
P(2.099192)-P(-2.099192)=0.9642  ok
