If you subtract 19 from my number and multiply the difference by -2, the result is -8

23

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be 'a'

-2(a - 19)= -8

open the brackets

-2a + 38 = -8

collect like terms

38 + 8 = 2a

46 = 2a

a = 23

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
