Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is a formula that can help:
Variance is the standard deviation squared but we're not going to use that now. Let's first calculate the mean:
mean = (17+13+13+22+11+20)/6 = 16.
Now for each value, let's see how far it is from this mean. We'll square these distances and average them. That's our variance.
17 distance 1 squared = 1
13 distance 3 squared = 9
13 distance 3 squared = 9
22 distance 6 squared = 36
11 distance 5 squared = 25
20 distance 4 squared = 16
Now average these outcomes:
variance = (1+9+9+36+25+16)/6 = 16.
So the variance by coincidence is the same as the mean.
Answer C is your answer.
It's D, because the mean doesn't matter as much if it's only taken in a small variability. The mean was selected from 25 random pages in the book, that is why it is right.
Answer:
6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
A day is 24 hours. So in this case, 3 quarters of a day will be 18 hours, half a day is 12 hours, and a quarter of a day will be 6 hours.
Answer:
n = 2 or n = 3/2 thus A. is the Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for n:
2 n^2 - 7 n + 6 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(n - 2) (2 n - 3) = 0
Split into two equations:
n - 2 = 0 or 2 n - 3 = 0
Add 2 to both sides:
n = 2 or 2 n - 3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides:
n = 2 or 2 n = 3
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer: n = 2 or n = 3/2
