Best Answer

1. Find the mean (average) of each set.

2. Subtract each value from its set mean.

3. Square each difference.

4. Add the squared values for each set.

The sum of the squared differences for each set is that set's variance. If you want to find standard deviation (a much more useful number in most cases), divide the variance by the number of values in the set minus 1 (n-1), and then take the square root of the result.

The variance of first n natural numbers is?

1 Sum of first n natural numbers = n(n+1)2[Formula.]2 Arthmetic mean of first n natural numbers = Sum of the numbers n[Formula.]3 = n(n+1)2n = n+124 So, the Arthmetic mean of first n natural numbers = n+12


What is the variance of these four scores 0 1 1 2?

Variance = sigma((value - mean)2) / (# values - 1) Mean = (0+1+1+2)/4 = 1 Variance = ((0-1)2+(1-1)2+(1-1)2+(2-1)2)/(4-1) Variance = (1+0+0+1)/3 Variance = 2/3 Variance ~ 0.667


Which sets of numbers are closed under multiplication?

There are infinitely many sets of this type. Some of the common sets include natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers. Also, as an example, all sets of multiples of some whole number, for instance: { ... -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, ...} {... -9, -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, ...} etc.

How do you find sets of two numbers if HCF and LCM are known?

You cannot. The numbers 2 and 12 have hcf = 2 and LCM = 12 The numbers 4 and 6 also have hcf = 2 and LCM = 12 So if you just knew the hcf and LCM you would not know which of the two was the required pair.
