Mean= medium, so therefore mean absolute deviation is the answer

Calculate the sample standard deviation and sample variance for the following frequency distribution of hourly wages for a sampl

lidiya [134]

Answer:

(a) The sample variance is 16.51

(a) The sample standard deviation is 4.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{cc}{Class} & {Frequency} & 8.26 - 10.00 & 20 &10.01-11.75 & 38 &11.76 - 13.50& 36 & 13.51-15.25 &25&15.26-17.00 &27 &\ \end{array}$

Solving (a); The sample variance.

First, calculate the class midpoints.

This is the mean of the intervals.

i.e.

$x_1 = \frac{8.26+10.00}{2} = \frac{18.26}{2} = 9.13$

$x_2 = \frac{10.01+11.75}{2} = \frac{21.76}{2} = 10.88$

$x_3 = \frac{11.76+13.50}{2} = \frac{25.26}{2} = 12.63$

$x_4 = \frac{13.51+15.25}{2} = \frac{28.76}{2} = 14.38$

$x_5 = \frac{15.26+17.00}{2} = \frac{32.26}{2} = 16.13$

So, the table becomes:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Class} & {Frequency} & {x} & 8.26 - 10.00 & 20&9.13 &10.01-11.75 & 38 &10.88&11.76 - 13.50& 36 &12.63& 13.51-15.25 &25&14.38&15.26-17.00 &27 &16.13\ \end{array}$

Next, calculate the mean

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

$\bar x = \frac{20*9.13 + 38 * 10.88+36*12.63+25*14.38+27*16.13}{20+38+36+25+27}$

$\bar x = \frac{1845.73}{146}$

$\bar x = 12.64$

Next, the sample variance is:

$\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum f(x - \bar x)^2}{\sum f - 1}$

So, we have:

$\sigma^2 = \frac{20*(9.13-12.63)^2 + 38 * (10.88-12.63)^2 +...........+27 * (16.13 -12.63)^2}{20+38+36+25+27-1}$

$\sigma^2 = \frac{2393.6875}{145}$

$\sigma^2 = 16.51$

The sample standard deviation is:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{16.51}$

$\sigma = 4.06$

Which is true about the product of 3/8 and 7/2. 1.The product is less than 3/8. 2.The product is greater than 1/8 and less that

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

4.The product is greater that 3/8 and less than 7/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of 3/8 and 7/2 is:

$\frac{3}{8} * \frac{7}{2} \\\\= \frac{21}{16} = 1\frac{5}{16}$

This number is greater than 3/8.

It is greater than 1/8 but not less than 1/2.

This number is less than 7/2.

This number is greater than 3/8 and it is less than 7/2.

Hence, the correct options is 4.

Passing through (2, - 2) and perpendicular to the line whose equation is y= 5x+2

jonny [76]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!!

Here,

Given, A line passes through point (2,-2) and is perpendicular to the y= 5x+2.

The equation of a straight line passing through point is,

$(y - y1) = m1(x - x1)$

Now, put all values.

$(y + 2) = m1(x - 2)$

It is the 1st equation.

Another equation is;

y = 5x +2........(2nd equation).

Now, Comparing it with y = mx + c, we get;

m2=5

As per the condition of perpendicular lines,

m1×m2= -1

m1 × 5 = -1

Therefore, m2= -1/5.

Keeping the value of m1 in 1st equation.

$(y + 2) = \frac{ - 1}{5} (x - 2)$

Simplify them.

$5(y + 2) = - x + 2$

$5y + 10 = - x + 2$

$x + 5y + 8 = 0$

Therefore the required equation is x+5y+8= 0.

Hope it helps...
