Answer:

The side of original square was 7.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+3)(x+3) =2(x)(x)

x² + 6x + 9 = 2x²

reduce:

x² - 6x - 9 = 0

(x + 1.24)(x - 7.24) = 0

x = 7.24

The numbers of regular season wins for 10 football teams in a given season are given below. Determine the range, mean, variance,

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

We have the following data set:

2,7,15,3,12,9,15,8,3,10

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set, to find the range, order the data set from least to greatest.

2,3,3,7,8,9,10,12,15,15

Then,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Range}=15-2 \\ \text{Range}=13 \end{gathered}$

Mean is represented by the following expression:

$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of all data points}}{Number\text{ of data po}ints}$ $\text{Mean}=\frac{84}{10}=8.4$

Population variance formula looks like this:

$\begin{gathered} \sigma^2=\frac{\sum^{}_{}(x-\mu)^2}{N} \\ \text{where,} \\ \sigma^2=\text{population variance} \\ \sum ^{}_{}=addition\text{ of} \\ x=\text{each value} \\ \mu=population\text{ mean} \\ N=\text{ number of values in the population} \end{gathered}$

Then, substituting:

$\begin{gathered} \sigma^2=\frac{(2-14)^2+(3-14)^2+\cdots+(15-14)^2}{10} \\ \sigma^2=20.44 \end{gathered}$

For the standard deviation:

$\begin{gathered} s=\sqrt[]{\frac{\sum ^{}_{}(x-\mu)^2}{N}} \\ s=4.521 \end{gathered}$
