Explain why the formula for sample variance is different from the formula for population variance. Why is it inappropriate to us

e the formula for population variance in calculating the variance of a sample
Mathematics

Aliun [14]2 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.

Place these numbers in order from greatest to least. 19/5, 1.62, –14/3, –0.5​

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello my name is Galaxy and I'll be helping you today. I hope you are having a nice day!

Simplification

To figure out how we can order them, we can first simplify the problems so that we can easily determine its place. We can put the fractions into decimal form so that they are are in one form and will be easy for us to comprehend.

\frac{19}{5}=3\frac{4}{5}=3.80

We know that \frac{1}{5} is equal to 0.20 because we know that 1.00 will be equal to 100 in this case and we can divide that by five to get 20 which will be divided back to get to 0.20.

As I've explained how I've simplified the first one, simplifying the others should be a quite similar process, feel free to comment below if you need any assistance with this.

\frac{19}{5}=3.80\\1.62=1.62\\\frac{-14}{3}=-4.6667\\  -0.5=-0.5

(Everything simplified to decimal form.)

We can now proceed to ordering them.

Ordering

Ordering decimals doesn't have to be as hard as it looks, we know that as per the number line a number that is more negative (e.g. -37) will be less than (e.g. -5) as it is closer to the number 0.

Now that we know how to order the negative numbers, we can order them into order, and for ordering the positive numbers, we should already know how to do that.

So, now, in order from Greatest to Least. We can order them by what I said above.

3.80>1.62>-0.5>-4.666

We can convert the numbers back into their original form by looking at how we converted them in the Simplification section.

Final Answer

After converting them into a way that we can comprehend, we get our final answer in terms of greatest to least as:

\frac{19}{5}>1.62>-0.5>\frac{-14}{3}

Cheers!

“Solve the equation. Determine if it is undefined or not.”
lozanna [386]

Answer:  a) No Solution

               b) Infinite Solutions  (All Real Numbers)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

4(g + 8) = 7 + 4g

4g + 32 = 7 + 4g      <em>distributed 4 into g + 8</em>

        32 = 7             <em> subtracted 4g from both sides</em>

Since the statement is false because 32 ≠ 7, then there is NO SOLUTION

-4(-5h - 4) = 2(10h + 8)

20h + 16  = 20h + 16       <em>distributed</em>

           16  =           16        <em>subtracted 20h from both sides</em>

Since the statement is true because 16 = 16, then there are INFINITE SOLUTIONS so x can be all real numbers.
