You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x =-6+ 12 + 2 + (-4) + 1 + 6 + 0 + 3 = 14
\n" ); document.write( "14/8 mean = 1 3/4
\n" ); document.write( "(x - mean)
\n" ); document.write( "-7.75, 10.25, 0.25, -5.75, -0.75, 4.25
\n" ); document.write( "- 1.75, 1.25.
\n" ); document.write( " (x - mean)^2
\n" ); document.write( "-60.0625 + 105.0625+ 0.0625+ 33.0625+ 0.5625+
\n" ); document.write( "18.0625 + 3.0625 + 1.5625
\n" ); document.write( "Total = 221.5
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 8 - 1 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "= 31.643
\n" ); document.write( "Square root answer.
\n" ); document.write( "= 5.6252 (Standard deviation)
\n" ); document.write( "Answer c is correct
\n" ); document.write( "Mean is 1 3/4 and SD is 5.6252
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
