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.

A diver descends to a location of -50 1 over 4 meters relative to the surface of the water. He then descends another 10 1 over 2
Yanka [14]

Answer:

-60\frac{3}{4} meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find diver's final location relative to the surface of water we will subtract  10\frac{1}{2} from -50\frac{1}{4} because diver dives away another 10\frac{1}{2} from his previous location of -50\frac{1}{4}.

-50\frac{1}{4} -10\frac{1}{2}

Now we will convert our mixed fraction into improper fraction and then we will find a common denominator.

\frac{-201}{4} -\frac{21}{2} =\frac{-201-42}{4}

=\frac{-243}{4}

Now let us convert our answer in mixed fraction.

=\frac{-243}{4}=[tex]-60\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, diver's final location relative to the surface of the water is -60\frac{3}{4} meters.
