I think p=4
How I solved it:
5(-2)+2p+2(-1)=2p
-10+2p+-2=2p So cross out last
-2p -2p 2p:)
= -10+2p+-2
+10 +10 Cross out the 10
= 2p=8
= divide both sides by 2p
= 2p/2= 8/2
= cross out the 2.
= which leaves
= p=4 we get 4 because we divide 8 to 2:)

I don’t know if I’m right but yea...

Nonstandard dice can produce interesting distributions of outcomes. you have two balanced, six-sided dice. one is a standard die

Artyom0805 [142]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

One die can show the values 1-6, while the other die can only show 0 or 6. So the possible totals are 1 through 6 plus 0 and 1 through 6 plus 6. Written out, one-by-one, this gives: 1+0 = 1 2+0 = 2 3+0 = 3 4+0 = 4 5+0 = 5 6+0 = 6 1+6 = 7 2+6 = 8 3+6 = 9 4+6 = 10 5+6 = 11 6+6 = 12

2. In your own words, explain HOW to find the standard deviation of this data set. (20 points) 3. What does the standard deviati

Ket [755]

Answer:

$\sigma = 11.28$ --- Standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Solving (a): Explain how the standard deviation is calculated.

Start by calculating the mean

To do this, we divide the sum of the products of grade and number of students by the total number of students;

i.e.

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

So, we have:

$\bar x = \frac{50 * 1 + 57 * 2 + 60 * 4 + 65 * 3 +72 *3 + 75 * 12 + 77 * 10 + 81 * 6 + 83 * 6 + 88 * 9 + 90 * 12 + 92 * 12 +95 * 2 + 99 * 4 + 100 * 5}{1 + 2 + 4 + 3 +3 + 12 + 10 + 6 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 12 +2 + 4 + 5}$

$\bar x = \frac{7531}{91}$

$\bar x = 82.76$

Next, calculate the variance using the following formula:

$\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum f(x - \bar x)^2}{\sum f}$

i.e subtract the mean from each dataset; take the squares; add up the squares; then divide the sum by the number of dataset

So, we have:

$\sigma^2 = \frac{1 * (50 - 82.76)^2 +...................+ 5 * (100 - 82.76)^2}{91}$

$\sigma^2 = \frac{11580.6816}{91}$

$\sigma^2 = 127.26$

Lastly, take the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation

$\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{127.26}$

$\sigma = 11.28$ --- approximated

Hence, the standard deviation is approximately 11.28

Considering the calculated mean (i.e. 82.76), the standard deviation (i.e. 11.28) is small and this means that the grade of the students are close to the average grade.
