Variance
a. a measure of the average, or central value of a random variable
b. a measure of the dispersion of a random variable
c. the square root of the standard deviation
d. the sum of the deviation of data elements from the mean

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Variance can be said to be a measure of dispersion for a random sample.

Variance = pq/n

When given the variance, we can find the standard deviation.

Standard deviation = √variance

= √pq/n

a complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is a solution of the equation x2 = −1. because no real number satisfies this equation, i is called an imaginary number. has no real solution, since the square of a real number cannot be negative.

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.
