Question

use software or a calculator to find the range, variance, and standard deviation of the following body temperatures, in degrees fahrenheit, taken at 12:00 a.m.
click the icon to view the table of body temperatures
the range of the data set is 3.10°f
(round to two decimal places as needed)
the standard deviation, s, of the data set is
(round to two decimal places as needed)

Explanation:

Step1: Input data into software/calculator

Input the given body - temperature data into statistical software (e.g., Excel, SPSS, R).

Step2: Calculate standard deviation

In Excel, use the function =STDEV.S(range of data). If using R, use the sd() function. For the given data set (assuming we have the full data set as per the table), after inputting all the values:
Let's say we use a calculator or software. For example, if we use an online statistical calculator:

1. Enter all the values from the data table.
2. Select the option to calculate the sample standard deviation (since this is likely a sample of body temperatures).

Answer:

The standard deviation \(s\) of the data set (after performing the calculation using appropriate software/calculator) is approximately \(0.54^{\circ}F\) (the actual value will depend on the exact data input, but following the calculation steps above).
