Answer:
(a) 25
(b) 9.27
Explanation:
Step 1
We have to rearrange the given days set from least to highest
35, 40, 45, 55, 60
(a) the range
Range = The highest number - The least number
= 60 - 35
= 25
(b) the standard deviation of the data set
35, 40, 45, 55, 60.
We find the Mean
Mean = Sum of values/Number of values
= 35+40+45+55+60/5
= 235/5
= 47
We can find the standard deviation now.
The formula =
√(x - Mean)²/n
= √(35 - 47)²+ (40 + 47)² + (45 - 47)² + (55 - 47)² + (60 - 47)²/5
= √144 + 49 + 4 + 64 +169/5
= √430/5
= √86
= 9.273618495
Approximately = 9.27
