Given the set of data:

11, 7, 14, 2, 8, 13, 3, 6, 10, 3, 8, 4, 8, 4, 7

Let's find the standard deviation.

To find the standard deviation, apply the formula:


s=(√(\Sigma(x-\mu)^2))/(n-1)

Where:

x is the data

u is the mean

n is the number of data = 15

To find the mean, we have:


\begin{gathered} mean=(11+7+14+2+8+13+3+6+10+3+8+4+8+4+7)/(15) \\ \\ mean=(108)/(15) \\ \\ mean=7.2 \end{gathered}

Hence, to find the standard deviation, we have:


\begin{gathered} s=\sqrt{((11-7.2)^2+(7-7.2)^2+(14-7.2)^2+(2-7.2)^2+(8-7.2)^2+(13-7.2)^2+(3-7.2)^2+(6-7.2)^2+(10-7.2)^2+(3-7.2)^2+(8-7.2)^2+(4-7.2)^2+(8-7.2)^2+(4-7.2)^2+(7-7.2)^2)/(15-1)} \\ \\ s=\sqrt{(188.4)/(14)} \\ \\ s=√(13.457) \\ \\ s=3.7 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the standard deviation is 3.7

xzANSWER:

3.7
