Using a 'generic Set Up' in an Excel Spreadsheet:
	x	x -3.89	(x-3.89)^2
	0	-3.89	15.1321
	0	-3.89	15.1321
	2	-1.89	3.5721
	3	-0.89	0.7921
	4	0.11	0.0121
	5	1.11	1.2321
	6	2.11	35.8726
	7	3.11	56.6131
	8	4.11	98.0941
	35	sum/8	28.31 (2 decimal places)
35/9	3.89	SD	5.32   (2 decimal places)

			
A) Find median = 4 (middle)
B) Find mean= 3.89
C) Find the sample variance = 28.31
D) sd = 5.32			
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
