calculate SS variance and standard deviation for the followi

calculate SS, variance, and standard deviation for the following sample of n=5 scores:10,4,8,5,8 with definitional formula.

Solution

Getting the mean, X,          
          
X = Sum(x) / n          
Summing the items, Sum(x) =    35      
As n =    5      
Thus,          
X =    7      
          
Setting up tables,          
x   x - X   (x - X)^2  
10   3   9  
4   -3   9  
8   1   1  
5   -2   4  
8   1   1  
          
          
Thus,

SS = Sum(x - X)^2 =    24   [ANSWER, SS]

***********************  
          
Thus, as           
          
s^2 = Sum(x - X)^2 / (n - 1)          
          
As n =    5      
          
s^2 =    6   [ANSWER, VARIANCE]  
          
Thus,          
          
s =    2.449489743   [ANSWER, STANDARD DEVIATION]
