Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the Range

The range of the data set is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Range} = \max(x_i) - \min(x_i) = 99.9 - 96.6 = 3.30 \, ^\circ \text{F} \]

Step 2: Calculate the Mean

The mean \( \mu \) of the data set is given by:

\[ \mu = \frac{\sum x_i}{n} = \frac{10409.3}{106} \approx 98.2 \]

Step 3: Calculate the Variance

The variance \( \sigma^2 \) is calculated using the formula:

\[ \sigma^2 = \frac{\sum (x_i - \mu)^2}{n-1} = 0.49 \]

Step 4: Calculate the Standard Deviation

The standard deviation \( \sigma \) is the square root of the variance:

\[ \sigma = \sqrt{0.49} = 0.7 \]

Final Answer

  • The range of the data set is \( 3.30 \, ^\circ \text{F} \).
  • The variance of the data set is \( 0.49 \).
  • The standard deviation of the data set is \( 0.70 \).

Thus, the final answers are: \[ \boxed{\text{Range} = 3.30 \, ^\circ \text{F}, \, \text{Variance} = 0.49, \, \text{Standard Deviation} = 0.70} \]
