2, 9, 15, 5, 11, 7, 11, 7, 5, 10 find the population mean, the population variance and the population standard deviation
Solution:
Given that,
| x | x2 | 
| 2 | 4 | 
| 9 | 81 | 
| 15 | 225 | 
| 5 | 25 | 
| 11 | 121 | 
| 7 | 49 | 
| 11 | 121 | 
| 7 | 49 | 
| 5 | 25 | 
| 10 | 100 | 
 x
= 82 | 
 x2
= 800 | 
a ) The population mean is 
  =
(
x / n)
= (147 +( - 25 / 62 ) * 5
= (2+9+15+5+11+7+11+7+5+10 / 10 )
= 82 / 10
= 8.2
The population mean 
 = 8.2
b ) The population variance is  
2
  
2
= (
x 2 ) - (( 
x )2 / n ) / n )
= ( 800( (- 82 )2 / 10 ) / 10
= ( 800 - 672.4/ 10 )
= 127.6 / 10
= 12.76
The population variance is  
2
= 12.76
c ) The population standard deviation is 
  
=  
The
population variance
=  
12.76
= 3.5721
The population standard deviation 
 = 3.5721
