Answer:
Mean = 1.9
Standard deviation = 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The Mean is calculate by the formula:
[tex]Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all the observation}}{\text{Total number of observation}}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Mean = \frac{24.9+24.7+24.7+23.4+27.9}{5} = 1.85[/tex]
Thus Mean to the nearest tenth is 1.9
Standard Deviation is the square root of sum of square of the distance of observation from the mean.
[tex] Standard deviation(\sigma) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{(x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}} }[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] is mean of the distribution.
Putting all values in the formula, We get
Standard Deviation = 0.597 ≈ 0.6
