Q. For the following set of data, find the sample standard deviation, to the nearest hundredth. \newline146,147,144,117,105,105,89146,147,144,117,105,105,89
  1. List and Verify Data: List the data set and verify the numbers.\newlineData set: 146,147,144,117,105,105,89146, 147, 144, 117, 105, 105, 89\newlineCheck for any input errors in the data set.
  2. Calculate Mean: Calculate the mean (average) of the data set.\newlineMean = (146+147+144+117+105+105+89)/7(146 + 147 + 144 + 117 + 105 + 105 + 89) / 7\newlineMean = 853/7853 / 7\newlineMean = 121.8571121.8571 (rounded to four decimal places for accuracy in further calculations)
  3. Square and Subtract: Subtract the mean from each data point and square the result.\newline(146121.8571)2=583.2659(146 - 121.8571)^2 = 583.2659\newline(147121.8571)2=631.2659(147 - 121.8571)^2 = 631.2659\newline(144121.8571)2=491.2659(144 - 121.8571)^2 = 491.2659\newline(117121.8571)2=23.5914(117 - 121.8571)^2 = 23.5914\newline(105121.8571)2=283.5914(105 - 121.8571)^2 = 283.5914\newline(105121.8571)2=283.5914(105 - 121.8571)^2 = 283.5914\newline(89121.8571)2=1078.5914(89 - 121.8571)^2 = 1078.5914
  4. Sum Squared Differences: Sum the squared differences.\newlineSum = 583.2659+631.2659+491.2659+23.5914+283.5914+283.5914+1078.5914583.2659 + 631.2659 + 491.2659 + 23.5914 + 283.5914 + 283.5914 + 1078.5914\newlineSum = 3374.16333374.1633
  5. Calculate Variance: Divide the sum of the squared differences by the sample size minus one to get the variance.\newlineSample size nn = 77\newlineVariance = Sum/(n1)\text{Sum} / (n - 1)\newlineVariance = 3374.1633/(71)3374.1633 / (7 - 1)\newlineVariance = 3374.1633/63374.1633 / 6\newlineVariance = 562.3606562.3606
  6. Calculate Standard Deviation: Take the square root of the variance to get the sample standard deviation.\newlineStandard deviation = 562.3606\sqrt{562.3606}\newlineStandard deviation = 23.715923.7159
  7. Round Standard Deviation: Round the standard deviation to the nearest hundredth.\newlineStandard deviation (rounded) = 23.7223.72
