Question

miss gruber ran a sit - up competition among her p.e. students and monitored how many sit - ups each student could do.
x is the number of sit - ups that a randomly chosen student did. what is the standard deviation of x?
round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of students

The total number of students \(n=1 + 3+2 + 5+1+8=20\)

Step2: Calculate the expected value \(E(X)\)

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Step3: Calculate \(E(X^{2})\)

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Step4: Calculate the variance \(V(X)\)

The variance \(V(X)=E(X^{2})-(E(X))^{2}\)

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Step5: Calculate the standard deviation \(\sigma\)

The standard deviation \(\sigma=\sqrt{V(X)}\)
\(\sigma=\sqrt{1805.6275}\approx 42.50\)

Answer:

\(42.50\)
