Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with (x-2)² = 25

First, square root both sides to get rid of the square on the left. You'll get:

x-2 = 5

Add 2 to both sides to get x alone. You'll get:

x=7

Check your answer by filling in 7 for x:

(7-2)² = 25

(5)² = 25

25 = 25

andrew11 [14]

The number 9.210 is greater. The least place value is the 0 (Zero) and the 1 (One). This is because the 9 (Nine) and the 2 (Two) in 9.207 and 9.210 is the same numbers. There so, you can't compare those 2 (Two) numbers.

Find the variance of the following data. Round your answer to one decimal place. x 1 2 3 4 5 P(X=x) 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 0.2

Reptile [31]

The variance of a distribution is the square of the standard deviation

The variance of the data is 2.2

<h3>How to calculate the variance</h3>

Start by calculating the expected value using:

$E(x) = \sum x* P(x)$

So, we have:

$E(x) = 1 * 0.3 + 2* 0.2 +3 * 0.2 + 4 * 0.1 + 5 * 0.2$

This gives

$E(x) = 2.7$

Next, calculate E(x^2) using:

$E(x^2) = \sum x^2* P(x)$

So, we have:

$E(x^2) = 1^2 * 0.3 + 2^2* 0.2 +3^2 * 0.2 + 4^2 * 0.1 + 5^2 * 0.2$

$E(x^2) = 9.5$

The variance is then calculated as:

$Var(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2$

So, we have:

$Var(x) = 9.5 - 2.7^2$

$Var(x) = 2.21$

Approximate

$Var(x) = 2.2$

Hence, the variance of the data is 2.2
