The given data are the scores turned in by the amateur golfer, from
which the sample standard deviation can be calculated.
Responses:
The mean and sample standard deviation for the 2017 season are;
- Sample standard deviation ≈ 2.07
The mean and sample standard deviation for the 2018 season are;
- Sample standard deviation ≈ 5.26
<h3>What are the equations for the mean and sample standard deviation?</h3>
The mean is given by the formula;

N = 8
The mean for the 2017 season is therefore;
= (72 + 76 + 77 + 75 + 73 + 71 + 73 + 75) ÷ 8 = 74
The sample standard deviation is given by the formula;

= 30
N = 8
The sample standard deviation for 2017 season is therefore;

The mean and sample standard deviation for the 2017 season are;
- Sample standard deviation ≈ <u>2.07</u>
The mean for the 2018 season is found as follows;
= (62 + 68 + 73 + 75 + 83 + 78 + 83 + 78) ÷ 8 = 74
