Explanation:
what is a sample variance?
A sample variance (denoted as ) is used to calculate how far a set of numbers are from the mean value of the set. Mathematically, it is defined as the average of the squared deviations from its mean value.
Let the individual value of the trees be represented as x₁ to x₁₀
Let the total number of Foxtail pine trees be N
To calculate the standard deviation, we will first calculate the mean or average of the height of the trees
1. Mean (μ) =
= =
2. we need to calculate the sum of the squares of the individual deviations.
∑[x-μ]²=
3. Now the variance is ; (∑[x-μ]²) ÷ (N-1) and since N=10, then N-1 = 10-1 = 9
=
we were asked the give our answer to one decimal place
∴ Variance()= 51.9
