kly average price for gasoline in California during 2005 was $2.56. Use this information to estimate the standard deviation of the weekly average price for gasoline in California during 2005. The standard deviation is ($3.15-2.56) / 6. I was wondering why you divide by 6?

Answer:

$0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we apply the Range rule for estimating Standard deviation.

By the Range Rule:

Standard Deviation

Highest weekly average price for gasoline= $3.15 per gallon.

Lowest weekly average price for gasoline =$2.56 per gallon.

Therefore:

\text{Standard Deviation}\approx \dfrac{3.15-2.56}{4} \\=\dfrac{0.59}{4} \\\\=\$0.15 $(correct to the nearest cent).

The standard deviation of the weekly average price for gasoline is approximately $0.15.

NOTE: You divide by 4 not 6.

Alik [6]

Answer:

(C) Whether or not a subject attends preschool

Step-by-step explanation:

In research studies, variables are used to explain differences in another variable. The explanatory variable (also known as independent or predictor variable) is used to explain differences in the response variable (dependent or outcome variable).

<em>It is important to know that the explanatory variable is the variable that is manipulated by the researcher. </em>

The facts that are not being manipulated are the income of the children studied, and what happens after attending or not preschool program. The variable the researcher is manipulating is the assignation to groups that will or will not attend preschool. Therefore the correct answer is:

(C) Whether or not a subject attends preschool

Zach read a book for 10 minutes every weekend in the first month, 20 minutes in the second month, 40 minutes in the third month,
den301095 [7]
Zach time of reading every weekend forms a sequence with these terms: 10, 20, 40, 80. On the other hand, that of Victoria forms a sequence with terms: 35, 50, 65, 80. By keenly observing the sequences, Zach's sequence is a geometric sequence with a common ratio equal to 2 and Victoria's sequence is an arithmetic or linear sequence with a common difference of 15. Thus, the answer is letter B.
