compute the range and sample standard deviation for strength
Solution
A)
Here, we have
Maximum = 4130
Minimum = 2930
Range = max - min = 1200 [ANSWER]
******************
B)
Getting the mean, X,
X = Sum(x) / n
Summing the items, Sum(x) = 29570
As n = 8
Thus,
X = 3696.25
Setting up tables,
x x - X (x - X)^2
3920 223.75 50064.0625
4130 433.75 188139.0625
3500 -196.25 38514.0625
3100 -596.25 355514.0625
2930 -766.25 587139.0625
3810 113.75 12939.0625
4130 433.75 188139.0625
4050 353.75 125139.0625
Thus, Sum(x - X)^2 = 1545587.5
Thus, as
s^2 = Sum(x - X)^2 / (n - 1)
As n = 8
s^2 = 220798.2143
Thus,
s = 469.8917048 [ANSWER, STANDARD DEVIATION]
