Compute the range and sample standard deviation for strength of the concrete? (in psi)
3960, 4140, 3300, 3200, 2950, 3820, 4140, 4010
SOLUTION:
From given data,
Compute the range and sample standard deviation for strength of the concrete? (in psi)
3960, 4140, 3300, 3200, 2950, 3820, 4140, 4010
Where we have to find
Compute the range:
Formula for range = maximum value - minimum value
Where,
maximum value = 4140
minimum value = 2950
range = 4140 - 2950
range = 1190 psi
Compute the standard deviation

3960 | (3960-3690)2 =72900 |
4140 | (4140-3690)2 =202500 |
3300 | (3300-3690)2 =152100 |
3200 | (3200-3690)2 =240100 |
2950 | (2950-3690)2 =547600 |
3820 | (3820-3690)2 =16900 |
4140 | (4140-3690)2 =202500 |
4010 | (4010-3690)2 =102400 |
=3690 | (-)2 = 1537000 |
= 3960+4140+3300+3200+2950+3820+4140+4010 = 29520
Sample size = n = 8
= / n = 29520/8 = 3690
Standard deviation = S = sqrt((-)2 / (n-1))
S = sqrt(1537000/ (8-1))
S = 468.58449
S = 468.5 psi
