Let's call trade balance b, exports e and imports i.
We now construct formula.
Put in the data from last year.
U.S trade balance for that year is -690 billion dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of −8.46 and 5.31 means we need to add −8.46+5.31.
We know that,
|-8.46| > |5.31|
It means we subtract 8.46 - 5.31
At hundredth place, 6-1 = 5
At tenths place, 4-3 = 1
At ones place, 8-5 = 3
It would mean that, 8.46 - 5.31 = 3.15
8.46 has a negative sign. It means that the final answer will have negative sign i.e. −8.46+5.31 = -3.15
Hence, the correct option is (a) " Because |−8.46|>|5.31|, subtract |5.31| from |−8.46| and the sign is negative".
The option D is the correct option.
According to the statement
we have to define the sample variance in the words.
So,
The sample variance is the sum of the squared deviations from the mean divided by the number of measurements minus one.
and in the case of the population variance it becomes
The population variance is the average of the squared distances of the measurements on all units in the population from the mean.
This is the method by which we define the sample variance and population variance.
So, The option D is the correct option.
