suppose the profit a Honda dealership makes on the next 5 Accords it sells are:524, 994, 922, 1,431, 1,328. Calculate the standard deviation of the sample. (please express your answer using 2 decimal places)
Solution:
Given that
The mean of sample is
x/n = (524+ 994+ 922+ 1,431+ 1,328./5 )
= 5199 / 5
= 1039.8
The sample mean is 1039.8
Sample standard deviation is s
s = 1/(n-1)(x - )2
= 1/4 (524 - 1039.8)2+ (994 - 1039.8 )2+ (922 - 1039.8 )2+ (1.431 - 1039.8 )2 +( 1,328 - 1039.8 )2
= 1/4 (266049.64+2097.64+13876.84+153037.44+83059.24 )
= 518120.8 / 4
= 129530.2
= 359.90
Sample standard deviation is 359.90
