Madden Rasmussen · Answer 1

Mean = $123

Standard deviation = 10190

Variance = 1698

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean=?

= sum of all numbers / Total numbers

a = 93+173+107+125+56+163+144 / 7 = 861/7 = $123

Standard deviation=?

we know that = Sqareroot [ Sum (y) ²] / N

we need deviation:

= x-a = y; y²

= 93-123 = - 30; 900

=173-123 = 50; 2500

=107-123 = - 16; 256

=125-123 = 2; 4

=56-123 = - 67; 4489

=163-123 = 40; 1600

=144-123 = 21; 441

Sum of y² = 10190.

= Square root [ 10190 / 7 ]

= 38.1

Variance = ?

= Sum (y) ² / N-1

= 10190 / (7-1)

= 10190 / 6

= 1698
