(a) Compute the standard deviation for the New Year's Day data. (Round the answer to three decimal places.) PLEASE SHOW WORK SO I CAN UNDERSTAND THANKS!
(a) Solution :
Given that New Year's Day data is 145 146 178 74 219 138 171 134 210 70
=> the standard deviation for the New Year's Day data is σ = 49.644
Explanation :-
=> Sum of terms = 145 + 146 + 178 + 74 + 219 + 138 + 171 + 134 + 210 + 70 = 1485
=> Number of terms = 10
=> Mean = Sum of terms/Number of terms
= 1485/10
= 148.5
