Answer:

The standard deviation is 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S be the sum of X and Y

S = X + Y

So we want to calculate the standard deviation of S

The standard deviation of S will be the square root of the sum of the variances of X and Y

Kindly recall that variance is the square of standard deviation

The variance of X will be 15^2 = 225

The variance of Y will be 9^2 = 81

So the standard deviation of the sum will be

√(81 + 225)

= √(306)

= 17.5

What is the range of f(x)?
adoni [48]

Answer:

best ans is { f(x)| –∞ < f(x) ≤ 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

usually to find the range of a fn, u need to see what the value can be. the graph show only a small range of x values. but u can see f(x) is definitely <u><</u>  4. so the ans is { f(x)| –∞ < f(x) ≤ 4}

There are 7 roses in a vase of 16 flowers. The rest are daisies.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

(a) 7:9 or 7 to 9 or \frac{7}{9}

(b) 9:16 or 9 to 16 or \frac{9}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you need to figure out is how many daisies are in the vase. There are 9. So the answer to question a is 7 roses to 9 daisies. The answer to question b is 9 daisies to 26 total flowers in the vase.

I wrote #:# or # to # or \frac{#}{#}#/# because these are all of the ways you can write a ration. I wasn't sure which one you needed.

Hope it helps! :)

drako found an emarald in a cave at a depth between negative 1\2 and negative 1 2\3 meters. Which number could represent the dep
Delvig [45]

Answer:

(-\frac{7}{6} )

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question the emerald was located at a depth which is between -1/2 and -1 2/3 meters

This statement can be written as

(-1\frac{2}{3}) -(-\frac{1}{2} )

To get the depth, you find the depth of the emerald location, you find difference between the two mentioned depths

-(1\frac{2}{3} )-(-\frac{1}{2} )\\\\

Change first term to improper fraction

=-(\frac{5}{3} )-(-\frac{1}{2} )\\\\

Find the LCM to solve the operation the involves the fractions.The Least common multiple here is 6 i.e 3*2

=(-\frac{5}{3} )-(-\frac{1}{2})\\

=\frac{-5}{3} +\frac{1}{2} =\frac{-10+3}{6} =\frac{-7}{6}

The number that could represent the depth at which the emerald was located is

=\frac{-7}{6}
