Answer:
Tara's current expression finds how much the school will be keeping. 50 x 2/5 (also written as 50 x 0.4) totals out as 20. $20 is 2/5 of $50. The expression that Tara SHOULD have written to find how much goes to the candle company would be 50 x 3/5 (also written as 50 x 0.6), as this adds up to 30. $30 is 3/5 of $50.
Step-by-step explanation:
50/5 = 10 which means that 1/5 of 50 = 10.
2/5 of 50 ($20) is kept by the school. This is what Tara's expression finds. This means that $30 is sent to the candle company, and can be found with the expression 50 x 3/5.
The decimals are created by dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator (I find it easier to do math with decimals).

We need to substituter the values for the variables. 2(8)(2)/(6), or 32/6, or 5.3333
<span>Standard deviation of first data set = 5879.1
Standard deviation of second data set = 14768.78
The second data set is more variable.
The basic definition of standard deviation is the square root of the mean of the squares of the difference from the mean. It's a bit of a mouthful, but easy enough to do. For the first data set, first calculate the mean.
(28995 + 37534 + 31361 + 27087 + 20966 + 37741) / 6 = 30614
Now calculate the square of the differences from the mean
(28995 - 30614)^2 = 2621161
(37534 - 30614)^2 = 47886400
(31361 - 30614)^2 = 558009
(27087 - 30614)^2 = 12439729
(20966 - 30614)^2 = 93083904
(37741 - 30614)^2 = 50794129
And now the average of the squares
(2621161 + 47886400 + 558009 + 12439729 + 93083904 +50794129) / 6 = 34563888.67
And finally, take the square root to get the standard deviation.
sqrt(34563888.67) = 5879.1
Now for the second data set of western states. First, the mean
(72964 + 70763 + 101510 + 62161 + 66625 + 54339) / 6 = 71393.67
Now the squares of the differences
(72964 - 71393.67)^2 = 2465946.778
(70763 - 71393.67)^2 = 397740.4444
(101510 - 71393.67)^2 = 906993533.4
(62161 - 71393.67)^2 = 85242133.78
(66625 - 71393.67)^2 = 22740181.78
(54339 - 71393.67)^2 = 290861655.1
And the average of the squares is 218116865.2
Finally, the square root of the average is 14768.78
So the standard deviation of the 2nd data set is 14768.78
And since the standard deviation of the 2nd data set is larger than the standard deviation of the 1st data set, that means that the 2nd data set is more variable.</span>
