Mean: ( 9 + 7 + 6.5 + 7.5 + 7 + 8 + 5 + 6 + 7.5 + 8 ) : 10 = 7.15
Variance:
(Sigma)² = ( 1.85² + 0.15² + 0.65² + 0.35² + 0.15² + 0.85² + 2.15² + 1.15² + 0.35² + 0.85² ) : 10 ≈ 1.15
Answer: C ) 1.15
-3 > -7
u have to remember, with negatives, the larger number is smaller in value.
when u plot these numbers on the number line, the number that is farthest to the left is less then...the number that is farthest to the right is greater then.
-3 is warmer because it is closer to zero then -7.
