Answer:

The value of the car will be x - (0.15)x after a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car was 15% more when it first came out, and the price went down by 15% after a year.

Therefore, to solve this problem, we need to multiply 0.15 by the initial cost, which will tell you how much the car price decreased.

Then, we need to subtract this amount from x, or the initial cost, in order to find how much the car will be worth after a year.

Therefore, the value of the car will be x - (0.15)x after a year.

Hope this helps! :D

Find the variance of the set of data to the nearest tenth: 5, 8, 2, 9, 4
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Therefore the variance on the data set is 8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the variance of the set of data we first need to calculate the mean of the set, which is given by:

mean = sum of each element / number of elements

mean = (5 + 8 + 2 + 9 + 4)/5 = 5.6

We can now find the variance by applying the following formula:

s^{2} = \frac{\sum_{(i=1)}^n(x_i - mean)^2}{n -1}

So applying the data from the problem we have:

s² = [(5 - 5.6)² + (8 - 5.6)² + (2 - 5.6)² + (9 - 5.6)² + (4 - 5.6)²]/(5 - 1)

s² = [(-0.6)² + (2.4)² + (-3.6)² + (3.4)² + (-1.6)²]/4

s² = [0.36 + 5.76 + 12.96 + 11.56 + 2.56]/4 = 8.3

Therefore the variance on the data set is 8.3
