Sample Variance

Definition of sample variance:

In 1893 the famous statistician Karl Pearson gave the definition of standard deviation as a measure of dispersion and gave a method for its calculation. Of all measures of dispersion the standard deviation is most commonly used. To understand what is sample variance, let us first see what is sample standard deviation.
Standard deviation: The positive square root of the number, obtained by dividing the sum of the squares of deviations from mean of observations of given data, by the number of observations is called the standard deviation of the data. It is denoted by s. Thus if x ¯ is the mean of n observations x_i (i = 1,2,3,…n), then,
With this background let us now define sample variance:
It is convenient to calculate the standard deviation in two steps. In fact, the number obtained by dividing the sum of the squares of deviations from the mean of observations of the given data by the number of observations is called the variance of the data. The variance is denoted by s^2 or s^2. After calculating the variance, its positive square root gives the standard deviation s. Thus, based on the above sample variance definition, we can write the sample variance formula as follows:
Calculation of variance for ungrouped data:

Direct method: Calculate the mean x ¯ of observations x1, x2, x3, … , x_n. Find the deviation x_i - x ¯ for each x_i. Calculate the square (x_i - x ¯)^2 for each x_i. Find the sum ?(x_i - x ¯)^2. Divide ?(x_i - x ¯)^2 by n to get the variance s^2.

If the values of x_i are relatively small and the mean is a fraction or a lengthy decimal, then we have an alternative formula for variance as follows:


Because of the presence of x_i^2 in the alternate formula for variance, finding variance by this formula could be tedious when x_i^2 are relatively large. The first method is also time consuming if the mean is a fraction (and not an integer). Fortunately, the numbers to be handled can be made small and the fractional mean can be avoided in calculations, by taking deviations of x_i^2  from an appropriately chosen number A, called the assumed mean.

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with triangles, particularly those plane triangles in which one angle has 90 degrees (right triangles). Trigonometry deals with relationships between the sides and the angles of triangles and with the trigonometric functions, which describe those relationships.

Trigonometry has applications in both pure mathematics and in applied mathematics, where it is essential in many branches of science and technology. It is usually taught in secondary schools either as a separate course or as part of a precalculus course. Trigonometry is informally called "trig".

A branch of trigonometry, called spherical trigonometry, studies triangles on spheres, and is important in astronomy and navigation
Let's see one of the trigonometry examples
Question:-

solve for x

2 sin2x- sinx-1=0

Answer:-

We may use some trigonometry formulas to solve this.
Put sinx = z in the given equation ,you get

2z2-z-1 =0

2z2-2z+z-1=0

2z(z-1)+1(z-1)=0

(z-1)(2z+1)=0

either z-1=0 or 2z+1=0

so z=1 or z= -1/2

since z = sinx we get

sinx = 1 = sin π/2 or sinx = -1/2 = sin(π+π/6)

x= π/2 or x= π+π/6

so x= 90° or 210°

Help with triangles and angles

Introduction of understanding triangles:
In this article let me help you on triangles and angles. Triangles is the important geometrical shapes, it is a closed shape with three sides and angles. The triangles are divided into two categories they are based on sides and angles. Comparing sides the triangle consist of three types they are equilateral triangle, scalene triangle, and isosceles triangle.

Comparing angles we consider the triangle as three types they are right angle triangle, acute angle and obtuse angle. In this article, we will understanding triangles with suitable example problem. For more Study material.
Understanding Triangles in Sides
Understanding triangles in sides are classified into three types they are show below.
  • Equilateral triangle
  • Scalene triangle and
  • Isosceles triangle

Equation solver online

Introduction to derive equation of motion:
In this article let me help you on equation solver online. Equation solver describe the behavior of a system or the motion of an object or a particle under the influence of a force as a function of time. These famous equations of motion in elementary Classical

Mechanics are given below:
v= u + at
s =( u + v ) t /2
s = ut + at2/2
v2 = u2 + 2as

The following are the variables used in these equations:

* t is the length of the interval of time and measured in second.
* u is the initial speed of the objects or the speed at the beginning of the time interval, measured in ms-1.
* v is the final speed of the objects or the speed at the end of the time interval, measured in ms-1. This could also help us on homogeneous mixture. This could also help us on linear definition
* a is the accelerations of the object within the time interval t measured in ms-2.
* s is the distance covered or the displacements of the object during the time interval t, measured in metres.

prime number algorithm

In this article let me help you on prime number algorithm. Prime numbers are the numbers which can be divided only by 1 and the number itself.Prime numbers cannot have any other factors except one and the number by itself. The +ve(positive) integers are divided into two such as prime numbers and composite integers.
Totally there is 25 prime numbers between 1 and 100. So remaining are the composite numbers.Now we give the list of prime numbers upto 100.

The numbers are like
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97
as the list shows there are 25 prime numbers between 1 to 100. This could also help us on metric system chart.
That twenty five prime numbers are in between 1-100 These numbers cannot be divided by any other number except 1 and the number itself.And the same is called mean mode median and range.

I hope my information on this is more useful to you. Keep reading may be in the next session let me help you on 5th grade math
