Find the standard deviation of the following data. Answers are rounded to the nearest tenth. 5, 5, 6, 12, 13, 26, 37, 49, 51, 56
1 answer:
Answer:
24.2(to the nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is ungrouped data type
standard deviation =√ [∑ (x-μ)² / n]
mean (μ)=∑x/n
=
=33.3
x-μ for data 5, 5, 6, 12, 13, 26, 37, 49, 51, 56, 56, 84 will be
-28.3, -28.3, -27.3, -21.3, -7.3, 3.7, 15.7,17.7, 22.7,22.7,50.7
(x-μ)² will be 800.89, 800.89,745.29,453.69,53.29,13.69,246.49,313.29,515.29,515.29,2570.49
∑ (x-μ)² will be = 7028.59
standard deviation = √(7028.59 / 12)
=24.2

Answer:
Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
(1)
z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".
The best answer would be:
A. Z test
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
represent the mean average
represent the population standard deviation for the sample
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is equal or not to 37100, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
