Given the following question:

14, 7, 20, 8, 21, 14


\begin{gathered} =\sqrt[]{(1)/(n)\sum^n_(i\mathop=1)}(xi-s)^2_{} \\ \Sigma(xi-\mu)2=(\Sigma(xi-\mu)2)/(n) \\ (\mleft(14-14\mright)2+\ldots+14-142)/(2) \\ 14^2=14*14=196 \\ (196+\cdots+196)/(2)=(170)/(6) \\ (170)/(6)=170/6=\sqrt[]{28.333333333333} \\ =\sqrt[]{28.333333333333}=5.3229064742238 \\ 5.3229064742238*5.3229064742238=28.333 \\ 5.3229064742238 \\ 2<5 \\ SD=5.32 \end{gathered}
