The data given below contain the state cigarette taxâ€‹ (in $) for all 20 regions of a country.

g100num [7]

Answer:

(a) $\bar x= 1.583$ -- Population Mean

(b) $s = 1.032$ --- Population standard deviation

(c) See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cigarette tax for 20 regions

Solving (a): The population mean

This is calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

$\sum x = 1.36 + 1.70 + 2.50 + 0.45 + 1.18 + 0.64 + 3.46 + 0.57 + 2.00 + 0.80 + 1.60 +0.98 + 0.36 + 2.24 + 4.35 + 0.62 + 2.70 + 1.78 + 1.53 + 0.84$

$\sum x = 31.66$

$n = 20$

So, we have:

$\bar x= \frac{31.66}{20}$

$\bar x= 1.583$

Solving (b): The population standard deviation

This is calculated as:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum( x - \bar x)^2}{n}$

$\sum (x -\bar x)^2 = (1.36 - 1.583)^2 + (1.70 - 1.583)^2+ (2.50 - 1.583)^2+ (0.45 - 1.583)^2+ (1.18 - 1.583)^2+ (0.64 - 1.583)^2+ (3.46 - 1.583)^2+ (0.57 - 1.583)^2+ (2.00 - 1.583)^2+ (0.80 - 1.583)^2+ (1.60 - 1.583)^2+(0.98 - 1.583)^2+ (0.36 - 1.583)^2+ (2.24 - 1.583)^2+ (4.35 - 1.583)^2+ (0.62 - 1.583)^2+ (2.70 - 1.583)^2+ (1.78 - 1.583)^2+ (1.53 - 1.583)^2+ (0.84- 1.583)^2$

$\sum (x -\bar x)^2 = 21.29222$

So:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{21.2922}{20}$

$s = \sqrt{1.06461}$

$s = 1.032$

Solving (c):

Population mean tells the average amount while the standard deviation represents the spread from the calculated mean

Option (4) is correct

A convex parabola is shown in a coordinate plane. The parabola connects the points left-parenthesis negative 4.5 comma 12 right-

spayn [35]

Since the parabola is connecting the points, it means that the points given are on the parabola or that the points are solutions of the parabola. Thus, when we substitute the points into the function, we should end up with the correct y-value.

To find the correct choice, let's test a point. An easy point to test I believe would be (-3, 0) because we should be getting 0 as a y-value. Let's test:

$A. (- 3 - 3)(3 + 4) = -42$

$B. (-3 + 3)(-3 - 4) = 0$

$C. (-3 + 2)(-3 - 4) = 7$

$D. (-3)(-3 + 12) = -27$

We can see that Choice B is the correct function, because it produces 0 when we substitute $x = - 3$ . Thus, Choice B, or (x + 3)(x - 4) is the answer.
