Answer:
a) Decrease
b) New mean = 78.43
c) Decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Total number of students in class = 28
Average of 27 students = 79
Standard Deviation of 27 students = 6.5
New student's score = 63
a) The new student's score will decrease the average.
b) New mean
New mean =
Thus, the new mean is 78.43
c) Since the new mean decreases, standard deviation for new scores will decrease.
This is because the new value is within the usual values i.e. within two standard deviations of the mean. So, this wont cause a lot of variation as this value will be closer to already available data values. Also number of observations (n) in the denominator is increasing. Based on both these points we can conclude that standard deviation will decrease
Formula for Standard Deviation:
where are data points,
is the mean and n is the number of observations.
Answer:
b = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
b² + 12² = 15²
b² + 144 = 225 ( subtract 144 from both sides )
b² = 81 ( take the square root of both sides )
b = = 9
