question #10
find the standard deviation of the following set of sample data:
2075 2055 3105 3380 2860
3840 3615 2180 3055 2965
3035 3685 3315 3160 3940
3190
220.05
417.31
581.19
187.67
Step1: Calculate the mean
First, find the sum of the data:
There are \(n = 16\) data points. The mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{49455}{16}=3090.9375\)
Step2: Calculate the squared differences
For each data point \(x_i\), calculate \((x_i-\bar{x})^2\)
Sum of squared differences \(\sum_{i = 1}^{n}(x_i-\bar{x})^2=1032069.140625+1073167.91015625+197.75390625+83557.51953125+53332.390625+561193.359375+274641.6015625+829707.91015625+1291.50390625+15859.75390625+3129.00390625+352910.75390625+50194.25390625+4769.6015625+721007.359375+9813.390625 = 5453939.9375\)
Step3: Calculate the sample variance
The sample variance \(s^2=\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}(x_i-\bar{x})^2}{n - 1}=\frac{5453939.9375}{15}\approx363595.995833\)
Step4: Calculate the sample standard deviation
The sample standard deviation \(s=\sqrt{s^2}=\sqrt{363595.995833}\approx 581.19\)
