The following are SAT Mathematics scores for five students, 490, 580, 450, 570, 650
Calculate the variance and the standard deviation for the observations
Solution:
Given that,
n = 5
From the data,
Mean : = Xi / n
= (490+580+450+570+650) / 5
= 2740 / 5
= 548
Variance = (Xi - )^2 /n
= ((490-548)^2+(580-548)^2+(450-548)^2+(570-548)^2+(650-548)^2) / 5
= (3364+1024+9604+484+10404) / 5
= 4976
Standard deviation =(Xi - )^2 /n
= Variance
= 4976
= 70.5408
