What is the variance of the following data? if necessary, round your answer to two decimal places. 17, 13, 13, 22, 11, 20
a: 14
b: 15
c: 16
d: 17

Variance is the standard deviation squared but we're not going to use that now. Let's first calculate the mean:

mean = (17+13+13+22+11+20)/6 = 16.

Now for each value, let's see how far it is from this mean. We'll square these distances and average them. That's our variance.

17 distance 1 squared = 1
13 distance 3 squared = 9
13 distance 3 squared = 9
22 distance 6 squared = 36
11 distance 5 squared = 25
20 distance 4 squared = 16

Now average these outcomes:

variance = (1+9+9+36+25+16)/6 = 16.

So the variance by coincidence is the same as the mean.

Answer C is your answer.

i = 2 / - 5

step-by-step explanation:

evaluation of ( 2 - 4 ) ( p + q ) when p = 2 and q = 5 i, by putting values of p and q,                                                                    

0 = ( 2 - 4 ) ( p + q )0 = ( 2 - 4 ) ( 2 + 5 i ),   by multiplying these0 = ( 4 + 10 i - 8 - 20 i )0 = 4 - 8 + 10 i - 20 i0 = - 4 -10 i   0 = 2 ( - 2 - 5 i )0 / 2 = - 2 - 5 i- 2 - 5 i = 0- 5 i = 2i = 2 / - 5

A. -10 is the value of x
