The term "standard deviation" (or "") refers to the degree of dispersion of the data from the mean. Data are grouped around the mean when the standard deviation is low, and are more dispersed when the standard deviation is high.

<h3>According to given information:</h3>

The mean is the product of the dataset's total and the sample size. Mathematically.

$\bar{x}=\frac{\sum X_i}{N}$

The individual periods are Xi.

The sample size is N.

$\sum X i$ = 1.06 + 1.31 + 1.28 + 0.99,+ 1.48 + 1.37+ 0.98 + 1.31 + 1.59 + 1.55

$\sum X i$ = 12.92

N = 10

While substituting the value we get:

x = 12.96/10

x = 1.292

The samples' average is 1.292.

The standard deviation:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{N}}$

$\sum(x-\bar{x})^2$ = (1.48-1.292)^2+(1.37-1.292)^2+(0.98-1.292)^2+(1.31-1.292)^2+(1.59-1.292)^2+(1.55-1.292)^2.

$\sum(x-\bar{x})^2$ = 0.43996

Putting into the formula we get:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{0.43996}{10}}$

σ = √(0.043996)

σ = 0.2098

The mean and (sample) standard deviation σ = 0.2098.

I understand that the question you are looking for is:

You measure the period of a mass oscillating on a vertical spring ten times as follows:

Period (s): 1.06, 1.31, 1.28, 0.99, 1.48, 1.37, 0.98, 1.31, 1.59, 1.55
