In: Statistics and Probability
Compute the range and sample standard deviation for strength of the concrete (in psi).
3910,4080,3300,3100,2940,3870,4082,4040.
The range is ___ psi
s= ___ psi (Round to one decimal place as needed).
Solution:
Given that,
The Range = Maximum Value - Minimum Value
= 4082 - 2940
= 1142
The Range = 1142
The sample standard deviation is s

S =
(
dx2 ) - ((
dx )2 / n ) / 1 -n )
=
(1566864 ( (2 )2 / 8) / 7
=
(1566864 - 0.5 / 7 )
=
(1566863.5 / 7 )
=
223737.6429
= 473.1148
The sample standard is = 473.1
