Problem

Find the standard deviation for the group of data items. \[ 8,8,8,11,14,14,14 \text { 마 } \]

Solution

Step 1 :Calculate the mean of the data set: \(\frac{8 + 8 + 8 + 11 + 14 + 14 + 14}{7} = 11\)

Step 2 :Subtract the mean from each number and square the result to get the squared deviation: \((8 - 11)^2 = 9\), \((8 - 11)^2 = 9\), \((8 - 11)^2 = 9\), \((11 - 11)^2 = 0\), \((14 - 11)^2 = 9\), \((14 - 11)^2 = 9\), \((14 - 11)^2 = 9\)

Step 3 :Calculate the mean of these squared deviations: \(\frac{9 + 9 + 9 + 0 + 9 + 9 + 9}{7} = 7.71\)

Step 4 :Take the square root of the mean squared deviation to get the standard deviation: \(\sqrt{7.71} = 2.78\)

Step 5 :\(\boxed{2.78}\) is the standard deviation of the data set
