Answer:

Option D) s = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 69

X = 68

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Computing z-scores for different standard deviation:

z_1 = \displaystyle\frac{68-60}{4} = 2\\\\z_2 = \displaystyle\frac{68-60}{3} = 2.667\\\\z_3= \displaystyle\frac{68-60}{2} = 4\\\\z_4 = \displaystyle\frac{68-60}{1} = 8

The standard deviation with highest z-score gives the most extreme position in the distribution.

Thus, the most extreme position of X = 68 in the distribution is given by a standard deviation of 1.

Option D) s = 1

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (7, -2) and (3, - 7).
professor190 [17]

Answer:

m = \frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we have to use the slope formula:

m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.

Let (x_1,y_1) = (7, -2) and (x_2,y_2) = (3, -7). Then

m = \frac{(-7)-(-2)}{3-7} = \frac{-5}{-4} = \frac{5}{4}

Yuri computes the mean and standard deviation for the sample data set 12, 14, 9, and 21. He finds the mean is 14. His steps for
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the first useful step to find the Standard Deviation is to organize it into a table. Let's insert the information. The data set ={9,12,14,21} Mean = 14 n= quantity of observations, in this case: 4

1) In the first column, the data set. In the second column, the squared difference of each number minus the mean. The sum of the second column will be plugged into the ∑ formula. (Check below)

2) Notice that in the second row, where x value is 9. (x-xbar)²= (9-14)². Yuri has made that mistake, and He compromised all the calculations.
