On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, you drink one or more cups of coffee while working on your statistics class from home. This past week you had 74, 85, and 94 cups. Find the standard deviation for the number of cups for the past three days, and round your answer to 1 decimal place if needed.
Solution:
Given that,
74, 85, 94
The mean of sample is
x/n = (74+85+94 / 3)
= 84.33
The sample mean is 84.33
Sample standard deviation is s
s = 1/(n-1)(x - )2
= 1/2(74- 84.33 )2+ (85 - 84.33 )2+ (94- 84.33 )2
= 100.3333333333
=10.017
The sample standard deviation is 10.0
