Answer:

A sample standard deviation is a statistic. This means that it is calculated from only some of the individuals in a population. Since the sample standard deviation depends upon the sample, it has greater variability. Thus the standard deviation of the sample is greater than that of the population

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Two thirds of a number is 3 1/2 more than three eights of a number. find the number

julsineya [31]

2/3x = 3.5 + 3/8x
8 • (2/3x) = 3.5 + 3 • (3/8)

16/24 X = 3.5 + 9/24 X
16/24x - 9/24x = 3.5
7/24 X = 3.5
7x/24 = 3.5
24 • (7x/24) = 3.5 • 24
7x = 84
7x/7 = 84/7
X = 12.

The number is 12.

Write a formula for function f in terms of function g.

emmasim [6.3K]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\

\begin{array}{rllll} 
% left side templates
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
% right side info
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}
\\\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}


\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}
\end{array}$

so hmm if you notice, your f(x) there, looks just like g(x), but is "shifted horizontally" by about 9 units to the right

that simply means, based on that template above, that C/B = -9, and we can simply make B = 1 and C = -9, and we get C/B = -9/1 which is -9

thus $\bf \begin{array}{llcll}
f(x)=g(&1x&-9)\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&B&C
\end{array}\iff f(x)=g(x-9)$

A telephone company charges a fixed monthly rate plus a rate per minute of usage. The company charges $135 for 100 minutes of us

Reptile [31]

The correct answer to this question is letter "B. <span>Draw a graph which joins the points (100, 135) and (500, 375) and has a slope = 0.6." The one on the x axis should be the number of minutes and on the other hand, the one on the y axis should be the amount being charged.</span>
