The test scores for a math class are shown below.
83, 85, 82, 93, 83, 84, 95, 87, 86, 94
What is the standard deviation of the data set?
4.7
OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):
@jim_thompson5910 I need help againnn same type of problem
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
first you need to find the mean
mean = add up all the numbers then divide by 10
OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):
87.2?

yes
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
now subtract the mean from each data value
make a new column of these values
OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):
like subtract 87.2 from 83 and all the others?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes like 83 - 87.2 = -4.2, and the same for the others
OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):
83, 85, 82, 93, 83, 84, 95, 87, 86, 94
---------------------------------
-4.2, -2.2, -5.2, 5.8, -4.2, -3.2, 7.8, -0.2, -1.2, 6.8

square each of those values
OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):
17.64, 4.84, 27.04, 33.64, 17.64, 10.24, 60.84, 0.04, 1.44, 46.24
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
now add up all of those values
OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):
219.6
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
divide that by 10 to get 21.96

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
then take the square root of that to get the standard deviation
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
this is considered the population standard deviation
OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):
Thank you!

In triangle RST angle S is a right angle and csc R = 17/15. What is tan T?
8/15
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
well if you don't have time, then you can come back later and I can help out
OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):
Can we work through it quickly right now?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
|dw:1433474348886:dw|
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
csc R = 17/15
|dw:1433474389882:dw|
since csc = hyp/opp

find the length of leg SR and that will help you determine tan(T)
