In: Economics
Range = Highest value - Lowest value = 463 - 230 = $ 233
Mean of sample = Sum of observations / Total number of observations = (428 + 463 + 413 + 230)/4 = 1534/4 = 383.5
Sample variance =
xi is the values of observations
is the mean of sample
N is the total number of observations
Sample variance = [(428 - 383.5)2 + (463 - 383.5)2 + (413 - 383.5)2 + (230 - 383.5)2] / (4 - 1)
= (1980.25 + 6320.25 + 870.25 + 23562.25) / 3 = 32733/3 = 10911
Sample standard deviation = = = 104.455
