Answer:
She can create a function for the total savings in terms of the time x by adding the two functions together. The new function should look like this:
T(x)=S(x)+a(x)
So now we can substitute the given functions:
T(x)=450+6(x-2)
But this function can be simplified for it to be easier for her to calculate her total amount of savings. We can do that by distributing the 6 into the parenthesis. This is, multiply the 6 by both the x and the -2, so we get:
T(x)=450+6x-12
and now we can combine like terms. We can subtract 12 from 450 so we get:
T(x)=6x+438
And that will be our final function.
First we have to find the mean (average)
mean = (564 + 1000 + 848 + 1495 + 1348) / 5 = 5255 / 5 = 1051
now we subtract the mean from every data point, then square it
564 - 1051 = -487......-487^2 = 237169
1000 - 1051 = -51......-51^2 = 2601
848 - 1051 = -203......-203^2 = 41209
1495 - 1051 = 444......444^2 = 197136
1348 - 1051 = 297......297^2 = 88209
now find the mean of the results.....but know when ur dealing with a sample instead of the whole population, u divide by 1 number less...so instead of dividing by 5, u divide by 4.
(237169 + 2601 + 41209 + 197136 + 88209) / 4 = 566324 / 4 =
141581.....this is called ur variance
now take the square root of the variance and u have ur standard deviation
sqrt (141581) = 376.272 rounds to 376.27 <==
I need help on that to. We have a test tomorrow and I can't figure it out and I need help:(
I need more information. Please explain more
