Calculate the mean of the set = = 44.9

Subtract the mean from each data point:
2 - 44.9 = -42.9
3 - 44.9 = -41.9
5 - 44.9 = -39.9
13 - 44.9 = -31.9
22 - 44.9 = -22.9
35 - 44.9 = -9.9
60 - 44.9 = 15.1
86 - 44.9 = 41.1
101 - 44.9 = 56.1
122 - 44.9 = 77.1

Square each result:
(-42.9)² = 1840.41
(-41.9)² = 1755.61
(-39.9)² = 1592.01
(-31.9)² = 1017.61
(-22.9)² = 524.41
(-9.9)² = 98.01
(15.1)² = 228.01
(41.1)² = 1689.21
(56.1)² = 3147.21
(77.1)² = 5944.41

Find the sum of the squared values:
1840.41 + 1755.61 + 1592.01 + 1017.61 + 524.41 + 98.01 + 228.01 + 1689.21 + 3147.21 + 5944.41 = 17839.90

Because the data set is the entire population, divide the sum of the squared values by the number of data in the set*:
17839.90/10 = 1783.990

*(NOTE: If the data set were from a sample, and not the entire population, you would have divided by the number of data in the set minus 1.)

This is your variance: 1783.990. To find the standard deviation, take the square root of the variance...which is 42.2.

.

If you insert the keywords "standard deviation online calculator" into the Google search engine,

you will get tens / (tons) web-sites, containing such calculators (free of charge (!) ) with detailed explanations
on what to do and how to use them.

So, you simply copy and past your line of numbers into the calculator input window and then press the "Calculate" button.

You will get the answer in seconds.

See, for example, this online calculator, which is the first in my list
