The book cost (in dollars) for one semester's books are given below for a sample of five college students. Calculate the sample variance of the book costs. 200, 130, 400, 500, 345 Group of answer choices

17,960

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data, book cost (in dollars) = 200, 130, 400, 500, 345.

First of all, we will find the mean of the given data.

Or

Mean = (200+130+400+500+345)/5

Mean = 1575/5 = 315.

Second step is to subtract the mean from each book cost;

(200-315) + (130-315) + (400-315) + (500-315) + (345-315)

(-115)+(-185)+85+185+30

Next you square the above deviation;

Then, divide the above by the average which is 5 in this case.

Hence, the value of the variance is 17,960.

725 parts per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

hi there, this answer is actually really simple.

you can set it up as 1450/2 or 3625/5 to find the answer.

they want to know how much per hour is being made, so you just divide.

1450/2=725.

and that's how many are produced per hour.

hope this . : )
