Standard deviation is: It is a measure of how spread out numbers are. It is the square root of the Variance, and the Variance is the average of the squared differences from the Mean.
For example: To find the standard deviation, you have to add up all the numbers in the data set, then divide by how many numbers there are, and that will get you your answer.
Example, Say your data set is: 9, 2, 5, 4, 12, 7, 8, 11, 9, 3, 7, 4, 12, 5, 4, 10, 9, 6, 9, 4.
The Mean is: 9 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 12 + 7 + 8 + 11 + 9 + 3 + 7 + 4 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 10+ 9 + 6 + 9 + 4. Over 20. That equals: 104 over 20 = 7.
So, the Standard Variance and Mean is: 7 for this problem.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be w centimeters.
Then the length = w + 7.
The area A is found from the length multiplied by the width.
330 = w(w + 7) = w^2 + 7w.
Now we can rearrange this equation to form a quadratic, as follows:
The factorization of the quadratic is:
(w + 22)(w - 15) = 0
Therefore we find that:
width = 15 centimeters
length = 22 centimeters
