Would you employ calculations for the sample standard deviation, or population standard deviation for this dataset: Ages of all students in a Statistics course with an enrollment of 30 students. Select the correct answer below: Use calculations for sample standard deviation Use calculations for population standard deviation Which of the following lists of data has the smallest standard deviation? Select the correct answer below: 11, 17, 9, 4, 4, 6, 6, 9, 8, 18 29, 21, 21, 28, 28, 26, 24, 24, 17, 23 6, 8, 10, 6, 8, 8, 10, 7, 10, 10 23, 19, 12, 19, 17, 18, 16, 10, 12, 21 17, 12, 6, 6, 15, 16, 20, 20, 5, 17 Remember that standard deviation is a measure of how spread out the values are. The list 6, 8, 10, 6, 8, 8, 10, 7, 10, 10 has the smallest standard deviation because its values are all relatively close together. Which of the data sets represented by the following histograms has the smallest standard deviation? A company is interested to know the variation in yearly sales amount for all 5 salespeople in the company. The dataset shown below is the sales amount sold by the 5 salespeople in the company (expressed in thousands of dollars): 40,60,65,70,80 Find the variance for this dataset. Provide your answer below: Variance = 176 (population “all’ Variance) The data below are the monthly average high temperatures for November, December, January, and February in New York City from the Country Studies/Area Handbook Series sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Army between 1986 and 1998. What is the sample standard deviation? 54,42,40,40 Round the final answer to one decimal place. Provide your answer below: 6.733 The following data values represent the daily amount spent by a family during a 7 day summer vacation. Find the sample standard deviation of this dataset: $96, $125, $80, $110, $75, $100, $121  Round the final answer to one decimal place [Show More]
