Math Problem Statement
Take the square root of your previous answer. This is the Standard Deviation of this data set. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Solution
To determine the standard deviation, let's proceed step by step:
-
Recall the formula for standard deviation: Here, is the standard deviation, represents each data point, is the mean, and is the number of data points.
-
Confirm the context:
- If the previous answer referenced a value like the sum of squared deviations (e.g., ), that value should now be divided by or (depending on whether the data set is for a population or sample) and then square-rooted.
- If the previous answer itself was the variance, simply take its square root.
-
Rounding: After computing the square root, round the result to the nearest hundredth.
Please provide the exact value or dataset referenced in the previous step so I can accurately compute the standard deviation.
