Mean=442.9 (add the values and divide by 7)
\n" ); document.write( "Variance=36991.8 (for each value calculate the difference between the value and the mean, square it, sum for each value, and divide by the number of values)
\n" ); document.write( "St.Dev.=192.2 (Take the square root of the variance)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "C) is the correct answer.
