Math Problem Statement

Calculate each value of ∑𝑋2, (∑𝑋)2, ∑ (X − 2), and ∑(𝑋 − 1)2, for the following scores: 6, 2, 4, 2

Solution

Let's break down each calculation step by step:

Given scores:

X=6,2,4,2X = 6, 2, 4, 2

1. Calculate X2\sum X^2

This is the sum of the squares of each score.

X2=62+22+42+22\sum X^2 = 6^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 2^2

X2=36+4+16+4=60\sum X^2 = 36 + 4 + 16 + 4 = 60

2. Calculate (X)2(\sum X)^2

First, we find the sum of all scores and then square the result.

X=6+2+4+2=14\sum X = 6 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 14

Now, square this sum:

(X)2=142=196(\sum X)^2 = 14^2 = 196

3. Calculate (X2)\sum (X - 2)

Subtract 2 from each score and then sum the results.

X2=62,22,42,22X - 2 = 6 - 2, 2 - 2, 4 - 2, 2 - 2

X2=4,0,2,0X - 2 = 4, 0, 2, 0

(X2)=4+0+2+0=6\sum (X - 2) = 4 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 6

4. Calculate (X1)2\sum (X - 1)^2

Subtract 1 from each score, square the result, and then sum all the squared results.

(X1)2=(61)2,(21)2,(41)2,(21)2(X - 1)^2 = (6 - 1)^2, (2 - 1)^2, (4 - 1)^2, (2 - 1)^2

(X1)2=52,12,32,12(X - 1)^2 = 5^2, 1^2, 3^2, 1^2

(X1)2=25,1,9,1(X - 1)^2 = 25, 1, 9, 1

(X1)2=25+1+9+1=36\sum (X - 1)^2 = 25 + 1 + 9 + 1 = 36

Summary of Values:

  1. X2=60\sum X^2 = 60
  2. (X)2=196(\sum X)^2 = 196
  3. (X2)=6\sum (X - 2) = 6
  4. (X1)2=36\sum (X - 1)^2 = 36
