Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven
Number = 5, 6, 4, and 2
Formula used
σ = √[x – x̅)2/n]
x̅ = (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4)/4
σ = Standard deviation
x̅ = Mean
Calculation
Mean = x̅ = (5 + 6 + 4 + 2)/4 = 4.25

8.75 |
⇒ σ = √(8.75)/4
⇒ √2.1875)
∴ Standard deviation of these values is 1.479
Standard deviation = It is the square root of the arithmetic mean of the square of deviation of the items from their mean value
σ = √[x – x̅)2/n]
