SOLUTION

Write out the data given, we have


5,57,10,51,34,24,29,28,29,31

Write out the formula


\begin{gathered} \\ s^2=\frac{\sum_(i=1)^n\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2}{n-1} \\ \text{Where } \\ s^2=\text{varaince} \\ n=10,\bar{x}=\operatorname{mean}=29.8 \end{gathered}

Hence


\text{sum of squares=}2253.6

Hence, Sample variance will be


s^2=(ss)/(n-1)=(2253.6)/(10-1)=(2252.6)/(9)=250.4

The sample variance is 250. 4

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance


undefined
