Answer:
standard deviation
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard deviation is defined as the measure of how spread out the numbers are in a given population. In other words, statistics refers to the amount of the dispersion or variation of a set of given values.
It is denoted by the Greek letter sigma, σ.
Thus the standard deviation is the measure of how dispersed the data are in the population which can be used to provide context to a larger data sets.
Because the triangles are similar, we can form the proportion 3/4 = 4/a
Cross multiply and solve for 'a'
3/4 = 4/a
3*a = 4*4
3*a = 16
3*a/3 = 16/3
a = 16/3
a = (15+1)/3
a = (15/3)+(1/3)
a = 5+(1/3)
The answer is choice B)
