How does the formula for the sample mean differ from the formula for population mean? Multiple choice question. To calculate the sample mean, you divide by the sample number plus one. The formulas are functionally the same, but 'n' (the sample size) is used instead of 'N' (the population size). For sample mean, the sum of values is divided by the number of values minus one.

The formulas are functionally the same, but 'n' (the sample size) is used instead of 'N' (the population size).

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample mean is the average value for a set of observations which is derived from a population. While the population mean is the average value for the entire set of observation belonging to a particular study of interest.

The set of observation belonging to a population is denoted by 'N' ; while the sample size is denoted as 'n' :

The mean formula is written thus :

Population mean = Σx / N

Sample mean = Σx / n

Where, x = set of values.

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct

44
