Answer #1

Solution:

x x2
10 100
12 144
20 400
25 625
8 64
12 144
9 81
x= 96 x2=1558



Mean     = (x / n) )

=(10+12+20+25+8+12+9)7

=96 /7

=13.7143

Mean = 13.71

The sample standard is S

S = ( x2 ) - (( x)2 / n ) n -1

=1558-(96)276

=*1558-1316.5714 ) 6

=241.42866

=40.2381

=6.3434

The sample standard is 6.34
