Answer:

Step 1: Calculate the mean of the data—this is \muμmu in the formula.

Step 2: Subtract the mean from each data point. These differences are called deviations. Data points below the mean will have negative deviations, and data points above the mean will have positive deviations.

Step 3: Square each deviation to make it positive.

Step 4: Add the squared deviations together.

Step 5: Divide the sum by the number of data points in the population. The result is called the variance.

Step 6: Take the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation

Packaging By cutting away identical squares from each corner of a rectangular piece of cardboard and folding up the resulting fl

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The dimension of the box is 18.66 in by 2.66 in by 1.17 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, The cardboard is 21 in. long and 5 in. wide.

Assume,x be the length of the each sides of the square .

Then the length of the box is = (21-2x) in.

The breadth of the box is =(5-2x) in.

The height of the box is = length of side of the square

= x in.

The volume of the box = length × wide × height

=(21-2x)(5-2x)x

=(105-52x+4x²)x

=( $105 x-52x^2+4x^3$ )

Let

V= $105 x-52x^2+4x^3$

Differentiating with respect to x

$V'=105-104x+12x^2$

Again differentiating with respect to x

$V''=-104+24x$

To find the dimension of the box, we set V'=0

$105-104x+12x^2=0$

Applying the quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , here a=12, b= -104 and c =105

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-(-104)\pm\sqrt{(-104)^2-4.12.105}}{2.12}$

$=\frac{104\pm 76}{24}$

=7.5, 1.17

For x= 7.5 , the wide of the box will be negative.

∴x=1.17 in.

$V''_{x=1.17}=-104+(24\times 1.17)$

Since at x= 1.17, V''<0 , therefore at x=1.17 in. the volume of the given box will be maximum.

The length of the box is = [21-(1.17×2)]=18.66 in.

The wide of the box is = [5-(1.17×2)]=2.66 in.

The height of the box is = 1.17 in.

The dimension of the box is 18.66 in by 2.66 in by 1.17 in.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

1.5 or 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.
