Please help will fan and medal

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?

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

I have one last question but I don't really have time to do it so could you just show me this one?

OpenStudy (love_to_love_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

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1433474448784:dw|

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

8?

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep 8

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

ok

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then you use tan = opp/adj

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

Thank you!!!
