Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will use a proportion, since x and y vary directly with each other.

16 / 20 = 60 / y

<h2>Step 1: Cross-Multiply</h2>

16y = 1200

<h2>Step 2: Divide both sides by 16</h2>

16y / 16 = 1200 / 16

y = 75

<h2>Step 3: Check</h2>

16 / 20 = 60 / 75

1200 = 1200 ✅

Answer:

about 5 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

14 divided by 3= 4.7 but since you can’t have 4.7 rows I rounded it to 5 rows. You can’t have 4 rows because then there would be 2 seeds remainin.

Help me find Sample variance and standard deviation

AnnZ [28]

First, find the mean. You'll need it to compute the variance.

$\bar x=\displaystyle\frac15\sum_{i=1}^5x_i=\dfrac{21+10+6+7+11}5=11$

The variance of the sample is then computed with the formula

$s^2=\displaystyle\dfrac1{5-1}\sum_{i=1}^5(\bar x-x_i)^2=\dfrac{(21-11)^2+\cdots+(11-11)^2}4=\dfrac{71}2=35.5$

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so

$s=\sqrt{35.5}\approx5.958$
