Consider the following data from a sample below:
20, 40, 50, 60
a) Compute the standard deviation.
b) Compute the standard error.
Show all calculation for points.
Solution:
x | x2 |
20 | 400 |
40 | 1600 |
50 | 2500 |
60 | 3600 |
x=170 | x2=8100 |
a ) The sample standard is S
S = ( x2 ) - (( x)2 / n ) n -1
= (8100 ( (170 )2 / 3 ) 4
= ( 8100 - 7225 / 3)
= (875 / 3 )
= 291.6667
= 17.0783
The sample standard is = 17.0783
b ) The standard error. = s n
= 17.07834
= 8.5391
The standard error.= 8.5391
