Given the sample data.
x: | 21 | 17 | 13 | 30 | 25 |
(a) Find the range.
(b) Verify that Σx = 106 and Σx2 =
2,424.
Σx | = | |
Σx2 | = |
(c) Use the results of part (b) and appropriate computation
formulas to compute the sample variance s2 and
sample standard deviation s. (Round your answers to two
decimal places.)
s2 | = | |
s | = |
(d) Use the defining formulas to compute the sample variance
s2 and sample standard deviation s.
(Round your answers to two decimal places.)
s2 | = | |
s | = |
(e) Suppose the given data comprise the entire population of all
x values. Compute the population variance
σ2 and population standard deviation
σ. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
σ2 | = | |
σ |
= |
Consider the data set.
2, 3, 4, 7, 8
(a) Find the range.
(b) Use the defining formula to compute the sample standard
deviation s. (Round your answer to two decimal
places.)
(c) Use the defining formula to compute the population standard
deviation σ. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
