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.

Point C ∈ AB , AB = 30m. Point C is 1.5 times farther from point A than from point B. Find AC and CB.
Shtirlitz [24]

let's say that C is "x" units farther from B, that means that CB = x, and therefore AC = 1.5x.


\bf \underset{\leftarrow ~~30~~\to}{\boxed{A}\stackrel{1.5x}{\rule[0.35em]{18em}{0.25pt}}C\stackrel{x}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}\boxed{B}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;AB=AC+CB\implies \stackrel{AB}{30}=\stackrel{AC}{1.5x}+\stackrel{CB}{x}\implies 30=2.5x&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{30}{2.5}=x\implies 12=x&#10;\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;~\dotfill\\\\&#10;AC=1.5(12)\implies AC=18~\hspace{8em} CB=x\implies CB=12

vi is going in the positive direction (up). (That's my choice). a (acceleration) is going in the minus direction (down). The directions could be reversed.

Givens

vi = 160 ft/s

vf = 0 (the rocket stops at the maximum height.)

a = - 9.81 m/s

t = ????

Remark

YOu have 4 parameters between the givens and what you want to solve. Only 1 equation will relate those 4. Always always list your givens with these problems so you can pick the right equation.

Equation

a = (vf - vi)/t

Solve

- 32 = (0 - 160)/t Multiply both sides by t

-32 * t = - 160 Divide by -32

t = - 160/-32

t = 5

You will also need to solve for the height to answer part B

t = 5

vi = 160 m/s

a = - 32

d = ???

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

d = 160*5 + 1/2 * - 32 * 5^2

d = 800 - 400

d = 400 feet

Part B

You are at the maximum height. vi is 0 this time because you are starting to descend.

vi = 0

a = 32 m/s^2

d = 400 feet

t = ??

formula

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

400 = 0 + 1/2 * 32 * t^2

400 = 16 * t^2

400/16 = t^2

t^2 = 25

t = 5 sec

The free fall takes the same amount of time to come down as it did to go up. Sort of an amazing result.
