Below are the jersey numbers of 11 players randomly selected from a football team. Find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. What do the results tell us? 19 41 23 4 73 45 87 34 28 17 78 What is the Sample Standard Deviation?
Solution
Given that
The range = Maximimu Value - Minimumu Value
= 87 - 4
= 83
The range =83

Sample Variance S2=∑x2-(∑x)2nn-1
=25823-(449)211/10
=25823-18327.3636/10
=7495.6364/10
=749.5636
Sample Standard deviation S=√∑x2-(∑x)2nn-1
=√25823-(449)211/10
=√25823-18327.3636/10
=√7495.6364/10
=√749.5636
=27.3782
