Yuri computes the mean and standard deviation for the sample data set 12, 14, 9, and 21. He finds the mean is 14. His steps for finding the standard deviation are below.

s = StartRoot StartFraction (12 minus 14) squared + (14 minus 14) squared + (9 minus 14) squared + (21 minus 14) squared Over 4 EndFraction EndRoot. = StartRoot StartFraction negative 2 squared + 0 squared + negative 5 squared + 7 squared Over 4 EndFraction EndRoot. = StartRoot StartFraction 4 + 0 + 25 + 49 Over 4 EndFraction EndRoot. = StartRoot StartFraction 78 Over 4 EndFraction EndRoot. = StartRoot 19.5 EndRoot.

What is the first error he made in computing the standard deviation?

The mistake he made is that he Yuri divided by n instead of n -1.

Standard deviation is used to determine how the values in a group differs from the mean of the values in the group.

In order to determine the standard deviation, take the following steps:

• Determine the mean of the observation: 14

Determine the difference between each value and the mean and then square the result: (12 - 14)² + (14 - 14)² + (9 - 14)² + (21 - 14)² = 78

Determine the mean of the sum of the squared differences and then find the square root of the mean: √78/(n - 1) = 5.1
