I asked 6 random people how many countries they have been to before and this is what they reported:

Data Set:

0, 1, 1, 3, 7, 9

You need to go through the 5 steps of calculating sample standard deviation for this data set. Remember to not round anything inbetween (it won't be necessary for this problem) until you get to the final asnwer and then round your final answer to the nearest tenth.

1.

What is the 1st step that you do to start calculating standard deviation?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
2.

What is the mean of this data set?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
3.

What is the 2nd step that you do for calculating standard deviation?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
4.

What are the 5 squared differences for this data set? (There are only 5 because one value is a repeat)

5.

What is the 3rd step that you do for calculating standard deviation?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
6.

After you add up all the squared differences what do you get?

7.

What is the 4th step that you do for calculating sample standard deviation?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
8.

After you divide the sum of the squared differences by the population size minus one (5) what do you get?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
9.

What is the 5th and final step that you do for calculating standard deviation?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
10.

After you calculate the square root of the number from the previous step what is your final Standard Deviation rounded to the nearest tenth?

Remember the square root might look something like this:
