<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) standard deviation = σ = 4.9996

(b) variance = σ² = 24.996

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

<em>Given frequency table (find attached as Table 1);</em>

<u></u>

(a) To find the sample standard deviation and sample variance, follow these steps;

<em>i. Calculate the mid-point c for each group by using the mid-point formula;</em>

c = (lower bound + upper bound) / 2

=> c = (6.51 + 8.50) / 2 = 7.505

=> c = (8.51 + 10.50) / 2 = 9.505

=> c = (10.51 + 12.50) / 2 = 11.505

=> c = (12.51 + 14.50) / 2 = 13.505

=> c = (14.51 + 16.50) / 2 = 15.505

<em>So the new table becomes (find attached as Table 2);</em>

<em>ii. Calculate the total number of samples (n) which is the sum of all the frequencies.</em>

n = 50+18+42+20+46

n = 176

<em>iii. Calculate the mean (M)</em>

This is done by first multiplying the midpoints by the corresponding frequencies and then dividing the result by the total number of samples (n).

M = [(7.505 x 50) + (9.505 x 18) + (11.505 x 42) + (13.505 x 20) + (15.505 x 46)] / 176

M = [375.25 + 171.09 + 483.21 + 270.1 + 713.23] / 176

M = [2012.88] / 176

M = 11.44

<em>iv. Find the variance (σ²);</em>

The variance is calculated using the following formula

σ² = [Σ(f x c²) - (n x M²)] / (n - 1)                ------------(i)

Where;

f = frequency of each boundary data point

<em>=>  Let's first calculate </em>Σ(f x c²).

This is done by finding the sum of the product of the frequency (f) of each boundary point and the square of their corresponding mid-points(c)

Σ(f x c²) = [(50 x 7.505²) + (18 x 9.505²) + (42 x 11.505²) + (20 x 13.505²) + (46 x 15.505²)]

Σ(f x c²) = [(2816.25125) + (1626.21045) + (5559.33105) + (3647.7005) + (11058.63115)]

Σ(f x c²) = 24708.1244

<em>=> Now calculate (n x M²)</em>

n x M² = 176 x 11.44²

n x M² = 23033.7536

<em>=> Now substitute these values into equation (i) to calculate the variance</em>

σ² = [Σ(f x c²) - (n x M²)] / (n - 1)

σ² = [24708.1244 - 23033.7536] / (176 - 1)

σ² = [4374.3708] / (175)

σ² = 24.996

Therefore, the variance is 24.996

<em>v. Find the standard deviation (σ)</em>

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. i.e

σ = √σ²

σ = √24.996

σ = 4.9996

Therefore, the standard deviation is 4.9996

The SAF operates the M113 Ultra APC.
HACTEHA [7]

The volume of the object must be no larger than 11.15 m^3.

Explanation:

In order for an object to be able to float in water, its density must be equal or smaller than the water density.

The density of water is:

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3

This means that the density of the object must be no larger than this value.

We also know that the density of an object is given by

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

For the object in this problem, the mass is

m=1.115\cdot 10^4 kg

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find its volume:

V=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{1.115\cdot 10^4}{1000}=11.15 m^3

So, the volume of the object must be no larger than 11.15 m^3.

A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

            po = pf

            -mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same
