Answer

2.78 is the standard deviation of the data set

Steps

Step 1 :Calculate the mean of the data set: 8+8+8+11+14+14+147=11

Step 2 :Subtract the mean from each number and square the result to get the squared deviation: (811)2=9, (811)2=9, (811)2=9, (1111)2=0, (1411)2=9, (1411)2=9, (1411)2=9

Step 3 :Calculate the mean of these squared deviations: 9+9+9+0+9+9+97=7.71

Step 4 :Take the square root of the mean squared deviation to get the standard deviation: 7.71=2.78

Step 5 :2.78 is the standard deviation of the data set
