Given the data:

11, 19, 13, 6, 5, 18

We are asked to find standard deviation.

First we will have to get the mean.

The Sum total:

= 11 + 19 + 13 + 6 + 5 + 18 = 72

Mean = Sum of items

Number of Items

Sum of iteams = 72

Number of items = 6

Mean = 72/6

Mean = 24

Let's get the standard deviation

Sum of squares = Σ(x1 - bar x)²

= (11 - 24)² + (19 - 24)² + (13 - 24)² + (6 - 24)² + (5 - 24)² + (18 - 24)²

σ = √ Σ(x1 - bar x)²/n - 1

σ =
