(b) The standard deviation is 1.150 .
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Finding the Range
The range is calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum values. In this case, Range = 6 - 2 = 4.
Step 2: Finding the Standard Deviation
The standard deviation is calculated as the square root of the variance. Here, the variance is calculated based on the formula applicable to the data representation (frequency distribution or raw data). Finally, Standard Deviation = \(\sqrt{1.2} = 1.1\).
Final Answer:
The range of the data is 4 and the standard deviation is 1.1.
