You can put this solution on YOUR website! The answer is 6.7.
Write down your data elements
Find the mean value= 21.5.
Subtract the mean from each of the data values
Square each of the results.
Add those squared values.
Take the square root of the sum.
Divide by (n-1)=5 to get the standard deviation.
