Help get me started on this?

4.What are the mean, variance, and standard deviation of these values? Round to the nearest tenth. 11, 11, 3, 1, 11, 11 mean = 8 variance = 2.1 standard deviation = 4.7 mean = 11 variance = 2.1 standard deviation = 4.3 mean = 11 variance = 2.1 standard deviation = 4.3 mean = 8 variance = 18.3 standard deviation = 4.3

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@vivianrush Can you find the mean?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

It's the average of all the values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i add them all together right?> and then divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either A or D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ash2326

OpenStudy (ash2326):

yes, mean is 8 correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i find variance?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Variance is the mean of the squared deviations (11-8)^2, (11-8)^2, (3-8)^2 and so on first find the squared deviations for each value, it's (value-mean)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 for the first two and 25 for the second

OpenStudy (ash2326):

so it;s 9, 9, 25, 49, 25, 25 Find the average of these

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23.7

OpenStudy (ash2326):

sorry 9,9, 25, 49, 9, 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18.3

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Good, standard deviation is the square root of variance. Can you find that
