Answer:
8 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The balance is in equilibrium, so the weights of the two sides are equal.
Let the weight of a square be s.
Left side: 2s + 4
Right side: s + 3(4) = s + 12
The weights are equal, so we set the two expressions equal.
2s + 4 = s + 12
s = 8
Answer: The weight of a square is 8 grams.
Variance is the standard deviation squared but we're not going to use that now. Let's first calculate the mean:
mean = (17+13+13+22+11+20)/6 = 16.
Now for each value, let's see how far it is from this mean. We'll square these distances and average them. That's our variance.
17 distance 1 squared = 1
13 distance 3 squared = 9
13 distance 3 squared = 9
22 distance 6 squared = 36
11 distance 5 squared = 25
20 distance 4 squared = 16
Now average these outcomes:
variance = (1+9+9+36+25+16)/6 = 16.
So the variance by coincidence is the same as the mean.
Answer C is your answer.
