You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Mean = 523/8 = 65.375\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You get the mean by adding up all the numbers and then dividing by 8 (since there are 8 numbers).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Standard Deviation = 7.0698\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is approximate. Doing the calculation by hand is tedious so use a calculator here.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Lower Bound:
\n" ); document.write( "L = (mean) - (standard deviation) = 65.375 - 7.0698 = 58.3052\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Upper Bound:
\n" ); document.write( "U = (mean) + (standard deviation) = 65.375 + 7.0698 = 72.4448\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the data that is roughly within 1 standard deviation of the mean will range from 58.3052 to 72.4448\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Those data values that are between 58.3052 and 72.4448 from the data set are: 69, 63, 69, 68, 65, 61\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 6 data values. So that is the final answer.\r
