Answer #1

The table for calculation is:

Hence,

Mean = = 5.111

Standard deviation = = 1.764

Therefore,

Maximum usual value = Mean + 2*SD = 5.111 + 2*1.764 = 8.6

Minimum usual value = Mean - 2*SD = 5.111 - 2*1.764 = 1.6

Yes, 1 girl is an unusually low number of​ girls, because 1 girl is outside of the range of usual values. Option B is correct.
