Solution:

x	x²
74.001	5476.148
74.003	5476.444
74.015	5478.2202
74	5476
74.005	5476.74
74.002	5476.296
74.006	5476.888
74	5476
---	---
x=592.032	x²=43812.7363

The sample mean is

Mean = (x / n) )

=74.001+74.003+74.015+74+74.005+74.002+74.006+748

=592.032 /8

=74.004

Sample mean =74.004

The sample standard is S

S =( x² ) - (( x)² / n ) n -1

=(43812.7363-(592.032)²8 )/ 7

=( 43812.7363-43812.7361) /7

=0.0002 /7

=0

= 0.005

Sample standard deviation = 0.005
