The variation between the sample means is small.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table displays the mean name length for seven samples of students.

The table is given as:

Sample Mean Name Length

1                        5.4

2                       7.1

3                       6.3

4                       5.2

5                       6.0

6                       4.9

7                        6.2

We know that the Mean of the sample is the average of the sample and is calculated as the ratio of the sum of all the samples to the total number of sample points.

Hence,

Hence, to the nearest tenth we may say:

Mean=5.9.

Now we calculate the absolute deviation as:

|5.4-5.9|=0.5

|7.1-5.9|=1.2

|6.3-5.9|=0.4

|5.2-5.9|=0.7

|6-5.9|=0.1

|4.9-5.9|=1

|6.2-5.9|=0.3

Hence, the square of the above absolute deviations are:

0.25

1.44

0.16

0.49

0.01

1

0.09

Now, the mean of these square terms which is also known as variance is calculated as:

Hence,

Variance=0.49

Hence, the variation between the sample mean is small.

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

the y coordinate for point b is 0, and answer b is the only one with that y coordinate.
