The population standard deviation of these data is approximately

(1) 3. 5

(3) 79. 7

(2) 13

(4) 80

Respuesta :

If the value of the mean is 79.6923 then the standard deviation is 3.5. Then the correct option is A.

What is a standard deviation?

It is the measure of the dispersion of statistical data. Dispersion is the extent to which the value is in a variation.

The following table shows the heights, in inches, of the players on the opening-night roster of the 2015-2016 New York Knicks.

84, 80, 87, 75, 77, 79, 80, 74, 76, 80, 80, 82, 82

The mean will be

N = 13

[tex]\mu = \dfrac{84+ 80+ 87+ 75+ 77+ 79+ 80+ 74+ 76+ 80+ 80+ 82+ 82}{13}\\\\\mu = \dfrac{1036}{13}\\\\\mu = 79.6923[/tex]

Then the standard deviation will be

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\Sigma _{i=2}^N (x_i - \mu)^2}{N}}\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{(84-79.6923)^2+(80-79.6923)^2+ ..... + (82-79.6923)^2}{13}}\\\\\sigma = 3.4947128281848 \approx 3.5[/tex]
