The standard deviation of a sample is the square root of the variance

  • The range is 23
  • The population variance is 5.5
  • The population standard deviation is 6.20

How to calculate the range

From the dataset, the smallest is 4 and the highest is 27

So, the range is:

[tex]Range = 27 - 4[/tex]

[tex]Range = 23[/tex]

Hence, the range is 23

How to determine the variance

The sample is given as: 6,9,9,6,9, 4, 8, 5, 8, 27

Start by calculating the mean

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{6+9+9+6+9+ 4+ 8+ 5+ 8+ 27}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{91}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 9.1[/tex]

The population variance is then calculated as:

[tex]\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n }[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\sigma^2 = \frac{(6 - 9.1)^2+(9- 9.1)^2+(9- 9.1)^2+(6- 9.1)^2+(9- 9.1)^2+(4- 9.1)^2+(8- 9.1)^2+(5- 9.1)^2+(8- 9.1)^2+(27- 9.1)^2}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^2 = 38.49[/tex]

Hence, the population variance is 5.5

How to calculate the standard deviation

In (a), we have:

[tex]\sigma^2 = 38.49[/tex]

Take the square roots of both sides

[tex]\sigma = 6.20[/tex]

Hence, the population standard deviation is 6.20
