Math Problem Statement

what is the range, variance, standard deviation

Solution

To calculate the range, variance, and standard deviation of a data set, we need the specific data values. Could you please provide the numbers or the data set you want to analyze?

If you already have the data set, here’s a quick overview of how each is calculated:

  1. Range: The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the data set. Range=Max valueMin value\text{Range} = \text{Max value} - \text{Min value}

  2. Variance: Variance measures how much the data points vary from the mean (average). The formula for variance (σ2\sigma^2) for a sample is: σ2=1ni=1n(xiμ)2\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n (x_i - \mu)^2 where:

    • nn is the number of data points.
    • xix_i is each data point.
    • μ\mu is the mean of the data.

    For a population, divide by n1n-1 instead of nn to apply Bessel’s correction for better estimation.

  3. Standard Deviation: The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. It gives you a sense of how spread out the data points are. σ=σ2\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}

If you provide your data, I can walk through the steps and compute these values for you. Let me know!
