    Standard deviation is the square root of the variance. The variance is the mean subtracted from each original number, then squared and divided by the number of numbers in the sequence you started with.

    Mean: 60+40+35+45+39 = 219/5 = 43.8

    Variance:

    Part 1: 60-43.8=16.2, 40-43.8=-3.8, 35-43.8=-8.8, 45-43.8=1.2, 39-43.8=-4.8

    Part 2: 16.2 (exponent 2) + - 3.8 (exponent 2) + - 8.8 (exponent 2) + 1.2 (exponent 2) + - 4.8 (exponent 2) divided by 5 = 29.792

    Deviation: square root of 29.792 = 5.46 (rounded to the hundreth)
