Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of a collection of numbers is termed the mean; it is obtained by dividing the total sum of the numbers by the count of numbers.

The standard deviation reflects how much a set of numbers varies from the mean. A low standard deviation indicates that the values are close to the mean, while a high standard deviation suggests they are more dispersed. The formula for standard deviation is:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma (x_i-\mu)^2}{n} }\\ \\\mu=mean,n=number\ of\ terms, \sigma=standard\ deviation

Taking into account the figures:

86, 81, 87, 82. mean = μ = 84

\Sigma(x_i-\mu)^2=(86-84)^2+(81-84)^2+(87-84)^2+(82-84)^2=4+9+9+4=26

Sum of squared deviations = 26

Zina [12379]

Let x represent the number of caps

cost per cap = $6

cost for x caps = 6x

shipping charge = $25

overall budget = $1000

We can set up the following inequality:

Because the total amount cannot exceed 1000, we have

25 + 6x ≤ 1000

6x ≤ 975

x ≤ 162.5

rounding,

x ≤ 163

This means she can purchase a maximum of 163 caps.

An investment of $7,650 earns interest at the rate of 5% and is compounded quarterly. What is the accumulated value of the inves
zzz [12365]
FV = P(1 + r/t)^nt, where P denotes the principal amount, r is the interest rate, t is the frequency of compounding per year, and n is the total number of years.

Calculating: FV = 7650(1 + 0.05/4)^(9 x 4) = 7650(1 + 0.0125)^36 = 7650(1.0125)^36 = 7650(1.564) = $11,964.17
