Response:
2(3-n)+5.
Clarification:
Twice a number plus five equals three times the difference between that number and two. "More" indicates addition, hence twice the number is represented as multiplying N (or whatever variable) with the determination that it equals three times the reduction of that number and two.
Rounding 17.2 to one significant figure gives you 17. This is because when the digit after the decimal point is below 5, you simply keep the number as is, but if it's 5 or above, you round up.
Set A's standard deviation exceeds that of Set B. To explain, standard deviation reflects variation within data sets. Generally, a dataset with a narrower range will exhibit a smaller standard deviation. For Set A, the range is 25-1 = 24, while for Set B, it's 18-8 = 10. Given that Set A's range is bigger, we would anticipate its standard deviation to also be larger. Standard deviation is calculated as the square root of the average of the squared deviations from the mean. In Set A, the deviations are ±12, ±11, ±10, whereas Set B's deviations are ±5, ±3, ±1. We can reasonably conclude that the value for Set A will be greater without computing the RMS difference. Thus, Set A's standard deviation is larger compared to Set B.
