Answer: The sample mean and sample standard deviation is 74.004 millimeters and 0.005 millimeters respectively.

Explanation:

The given values : 74.001, 74.003, 74.015, 74.000, 74.005, 74.002, 74.007, and 74.000.


\text{Mean =}\frac{\text{Sum of all values}}{\text{Number of values}}\\\\\Rightarrow\overline{x}=( 592.033)/(8)=74.004125\approx74.004

The sample standard deviation is given by :-


\sigma=\sum\sqrt{\frac{(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sigma=\sqrt{(0.000177)/(8)}=0.00470372193056\approx0.005

Hence, the sample mean and sample standard deviation is 74.004 millimeters and 0.005 millimeters respectively.
