Standard deviation of 300, 785, 670, 187, 760, 724

White raven [17]

STEP 1

Mean = $\frac{300+785+670+187+760+724}{6} = \frac{3426}{6}=571$

STEP 2

Subtract the mean from each data value then square the answer
$300-571=-271$ ⇒ $(-271)^{2} =73441$
$785-571=214$ ⇒ $(214)^{2}=45796$
$670-571=99$ ⇒ $(99)^{2}=9801$
$187-571=-384$ ⇒ $(-384)^{2} =147456$
$760-571=189$ ⇒ $189^{2}=35721$
$724-571=153$ ⇒ $153^{2} =23409$

STEP 3

Add the squared answers in STEP 2 then find the mean

$\frac{73441+45796+9801+147456+35721+23409}{6}= \frac{335624}{6}=55937.3$

STEP 4

Square root the answer in STEP 3
$\sqrt{55937.3} =236.5$

Standard deviation is 236.5
