Answer:
Standard deviation = 2.2360679774998
Explanation:
We are asked to find the Standard deviation of a samples of speeches as an awards.
The formula for sample standard deviation is given as:
√[(x - μ)²/N - 1 ]
Step 1
We find the mean (μ)
The mean of the sample =>
= Sum of term/ Number of terms
= (3 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 1)/5
= 20/5
= 4
Step 2
Find the Standard deviation of the sample
√[(x - μ)²/N - 1 ]
N = number of samples or terms = 5
= √[(3 - 4) ² + (7 - 4)² + (5 - 4)² +(4 - 4)² +(1 - 4)²/ 4]
= √ (1 ² + 3² + -1² + 0² + -3²/4)
= √( 1 + 9 + 1 + 0 + 9/4)
= √20/5 - 1
= √5
= 2.2360679774998
The standard deviation of the sample = 2.2360679774998
