Consider the following data: 12,10,13,3,4,6 Step 2 of 3 : Calculate the value of the sample standard deviation. Round your answer to one decimal place.
Solution:
Given that,
12,10,13,3,4,6
n=6
The mean of sample is
x/n = (12 + 10 + 13 + 3 + 4 + 6 /6 )
= 48/ 6
= 8
The sample mean is 5.2
Sample standard deviation is s
s = 1/(n-1)(x - )2
= 1/6-1 (12 - 8 )2+ (10 - 8 )2+ (13 - 8 )2+ (3 - 8)2 +( 4 - 8 )2+( 6 - 8 )2
= 1/5 (16+4+25+25+16+4)
= 90/5
= 18
= 4.24264068
=4.2 (rounded)
The sample standard deviation is 4.2
