Question

Use the five numbers 12, 11, 19, 16, and 12 to complete parts a) through e) below.
a) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the given set of data.
The mean is x = and the standard deviation is s =
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Answer 1

Answer:

mean = 14 and standard deviation = 3.03

Step-by-step explanation:

mean = sum of all numbers ÷ by the numbers available

= (11 + 12 + 12 + 16 + 19) ÷ 5

= 70 ÷ 5

= 14

FOR STANDARD DEVIATION * USE A SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR THEY WON'T PENALIZE YOU*

follow these steps:

1. press mode then STAT

2. then press 1-VAR

3. put all the numbers on the table in ascending order

4 after press AC

5. press shift then 1

6. you will see many things but we are only interested in standard deviation, press *Var*

7. then select the standard deviation sign and press the equal sign
