Divide by 5 on both sides and the answer should be m= -5
Addition you add and in subtraction you subtract
You don't even have to look up the definition of 'standard deviation'. You only
have to remember that 'smaller standard deviation' means 'less spread-out'.
First, let's find the mean (average). It's not supposed to change:
1/7th of (65 + 71 + 77 + 80 + 82 + 90 + 96) = 561/7 = <u>80 and 1/7</u> .
Now, just pick 7 scores that total 561 and are all bunched up.
The easiest way would be 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 81 .
But that's so easy that it feels like cheating.
Let's say <u>77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, and 84</u> .
If the ball hit the ground it means that its height is equal to 0. In order to find the time after the ball <span>will hit the ground, we need to find the solution of the equation h(x)=0 which is different to 0.
-4.9x^2+21.3x=0
x(-4.9x+21.3)=0
-4.9x+21.3=0
x=21.3/4.9 = 4.3469 seconds</span>
