Calculate SS variance and standard deviation for the followi
Calculate SS, variance, and standard deviation for the following population of N=5 scores 10,4,8,5,8.
Solution
Mean = (10 + 4 + 8 + 5 + 8)/5
= 35/5
= 7
SS = (10-7)^2 + (4-7)^2 + ( 8-7)^2 + (5-7)^2 + (8-7)^2
= 9 + 9 + 1 + 4 + 1
= 24
Variance = 24/5 = 4.8
Std deviation = 4.8 = 2.19
