- Assume that we have estimated the standard deviation of a sample x₁,. ., xn ER using the sample standard deviation s = ô(x₁,x2,...,xn). What does ô(−2x1, −2x2,..., -2xn) equal?

Let X measure the contagious period for a randomly selected specimen of the COVID-20 virus. State the distribution of the random variable X. Group of answer choices X∼χ2(6) X∼Student′st(7) X∼χ2(7) X∼Continuous(7) A friend of yours has COVID-20 and the doctors have told her that she has had it for 10 days. Compute the probability that they are still contagious. (I.E. compute the probability that X is greater than or equal to 10 days.)arrow_forwardIn order to use the defining formula for variance, we must calculate (x − x)2 for each data value in the data set 14, 18, 22, 26, 33. Use the values in the data set and the mean x = 22.6 to fill out the following table. x 14 18 22 26 33 x 22.6 22.6 22.6 22.6 22.6 x − x 14 − 22.6 = −8.6 18 − 22.6 = __________ 22 − 22.6 = −0.6 26 − 22.6 = _________ 33 − 22.6 = 10.4 (x − x)2 73.96 __________ 0.36 ________ 108.16arrow_forward
