Q. QuestionWatch VideoMemory usage: 132MBFor the following set of data, find the sample standard deviation, to the nearest hundredth.68,20,87,61,85,43,74Copy Values for CalculatorOpen Statistics CalculatorAnswer Attempt 2 out of 22696
List data set & count: List the data set and verify the number of data points.Data set: 68,20,87,61,85,43,74Number of data points (n):7
Calculate mean: Calculate the mean (average) of the data set.Mean = (68+20+87+61+85+43+74)/7Mean = (438)/7Mean = 62.57 (rounded to two decimal places)
Calculate squared differences: Calculate the squared differences from the mean for each data point.(68−62.57)2=29.64(20−62.57)2=1805.44(87−62.57)2=595.05(61−62.57)2=2.47(85−62.57)2=501.76(43−62.57)2=383.04(74−62.57)2=130.69
Sum squared differences: Sum the squared differences.Sum of squared differences = 29.64+1805.44+595.05+2.47+501.76+383.04+130.69Sum of squared differences = 3447.09
Calculate variance: Divide the sum of squared differences by the number of data points minus one to find the variance (since this is a sample standard deviation).Variance = (7−1)3447.09Variance = 63447.09Variance = 574.515
Find standard deviation: Take the square root of the variance to find the sample standard deviation.Sample standard deviation = 574.515Sample standard deviation ≈23.967 (rounded to three decimal places)
Round standard deviation: Round the sample standard deviation to the nearest hundredth.Sample standard deviation ≈23.97
