The scores on a statistics test had a mean of 81 and a standard deviation of 9. One student was absent on the test day and his s

core wasn't included in the calculation. If his score of 78 was added to the distribution of scores, what would happen to the mean and standard deviation?
A) Mean will increase, standard deviation will decrease.

B) Mean will increase, standard deviation will increase.

C) Mean will decrease, standard deviation will stay the same.

D) Mean will decrease, standard deviation will increase.

E) Mean will decrease, standard deviation will decrease.

Answer: E) Mean will decrease, standard deviation will decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial mean = 81

Initial standard deviation = 9

New score = 78

Taking a look at the initial mean(averahe) score, which is 81 and the new score to be added to the initial scores, the initial average is greater than the new score. Hence, this will result in a decrease in the new mean score after adding the new score of 78.

Also, taking a look at the standard deviation which is 9, we can conclude that the variability in initial scores from the mean scores is high. However, the new score of 78 and the initial mean are very close, and tend to low variation. Hence, adding the new score will lead to a decrease in variability and hence a decrease in the value of standard deviation.

So, we would need to remember, the one way that me personally would view square rooting would be by simplifying them, and that number would go into that number that many times. So, when doing this kind of problem, we are not truly going to do this, but we are just going to simplify it, and to see what other square "rooter" would go into that.

So, we would need to remember a (key) point, <em>we aren't just multiplying, for the most part, we're simplifying. </em>

Our result:

\boxed{\boxed{\bf{2a^2b \sqrt[4]{24a^2b^3} }}}

We didn't just multiplied it, we also simplified it also.

Tomorrow, Mrs. Wendel's class will be using toothpicks for a science project. Each student must use at least 9 toothpicks for th
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Number of toothpicks required per student = At least 9

Total number of students = 30

Number of toothpicks required for the entire class = At least 9 × 30 = At least 270

Number of toothpicks in the bag in the class storage room = 50

Additional number of toothpicks required to be bought to make sure there are enough toothpicks = 270 - 50 = 220

Hence, she needs to buy 220 toothpicks.

What is the ratio of the area of sector ABC to the area of sector DBE?
shusha [124]

We have to find the" ratio of the area of sector ABC to the area of sector DBE".

Now,

the general formula for the area of sector is

Area of sector= 1/2 r²θ

where r is the radius and θ is the central angle in radian.


180°= π rad

1° = π/180 rad


For sector ABC, area= 1/2 (2r)²(β°)

= 1/2 *4r²*(π/180 β)

= 2r²(π/180 β)

For sector DBE, area= 1/2 (r)²(3β°)

= 1/2 *r²*3(π/180 β)

= 3/2 r²(π/180 β)

Now ratio,

Area of sector ABC/Area of sector DBE =\frac{2r^{2}*\ \frac{\pi}{180} beta}{3/2 r^{2}*\ \frac{\pi}{180}beta}

= 4/3
