A golfer recorded the following scores for each of four rounds of golf: 86, 81, 87, 82. The mean of the scores is 84. What is the sum of the squared deviations of the scores from the mean?

The sum of the squared deviations of the scores from the mean is 26.

-----------------------

Thus:

The sum of the squared deviations of the scores from the mean is 26.

26

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a set of number is the average the set of number, it is the ratio of the total sum of the terms to the sum of terms.

The standard deviation is the variation of a set of numbers to their mean. A low standard deviation means the value are close to the mean and a high standard deviation means the values are far from the mean. The standard deviation is given as:

Given the numbers:

86, 81, 87, 82. mean = μ = 84

Sum of squared deviations = 26

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
