Mathematics

Aliun [14]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the formula of population and sample variance can be explained as:

Population variance is said to be the value of variance that is calculated from population data, whereas sample variance refers to the variance calculated from sample data. This is the reason why value of denominator in the formula for variance in case of sample data is ‘n-1’, while it is ‘n’ for population data. Hence, the result of both variance and standard deviation derived from sample data is larger than those found out from population data.

You roll a number cube one time.<br> What is the probability of not rolling a 8 or a 10?
liq [111]

Answer: 80% or 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

so I don’t know how many numbers there are on this cube (a standard number cube has #1-6) but I’m going to go with 10 numbers (don’t know how this is possible but anyway-). I’ll edit my answer if needed.

10 numbers

10 (numbers) - 2 (#8 and #10) = 8 (possible numbers)

so 8/10 or 80%

reduced fraction: 4/5

percentage: 80%

fraction: 8/10
