oratio is solving the equation Negative three-fourths + two-fifths x = StartFraction 7 Over 20 EndFraction x minus one-half. Which equations represent possible ways to begin solving for x? Check all that apply. Two-fifths x = StartFraction 7 Over 20 EndFraction x + one-fourth Two-fifths x = StartFraction 7 Over 20 EndFraction x + five-fourths Negative three-fourths = negative StartFraction 1 Over 20 EndFraction x minus one-half Negative three-fourths = three-fourths x minus one-half Negative three-fourths + StartFraction 1 Over 20 EndFraction x = negative one-half

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) without doing any computations, order the data sets according to increasing value of standard deviations. (i), (iii), (ii) (ii), (i), (iii) (iii), (i), (ii) (iii), (ii), (i) (i), (ii), (iii) (ii), (iii), (i) (b) why do you expect the difference in standard deviations between data sets (i) and (ii) to be greater than the difference in standard deviations between data sets (ii) and (iii)? hint: consider how much the data in the respective sets differ from the mean. the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). the data change between data sets (ii) and (iii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (i) and (ii). the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) decreased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). none of the above
