Answer 1

i think that it is c or d but correct me if i am wrong

Answer 2

Hey,
To find the Standard deviation of the data set, there are 4 steps:
1. Work out the Mean (the simple average of the numbers)
2. Then for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result.
3. Then work out the mean of those squared differences.
4. Take the square root of that and we are done!

Here is your answer:
6.1

Is there a typo? I have checked my answer multiple times. Perhaps are you missing a number in the data set?
