Using it's concept, the standard deviation for the given data-set is of 8.22.
<h3>What are the mean and the standard deviation of a data-set?</h3>
- The mean of a data-set is given by the <u>sum of all values in the data-set, divided by the number of values</u>.
- The standard deviation of a data-set is given by the square root of the <u>sum of the differences squared between each observation and the mean, divided by the number of values</u>.
The mean for this problem is:
M = (17 + 26 + 28 + 9 + 30 + 29 + 6 + 21 + 23)/9 = 21
Hence the standard deviation is:

To answer this
problem, we use the binomial distribution formula for probability:
P (x) = [n!
/ (n-x)! x!] p^x q^(n-x)
Where,
n = the
total number of test questions = 10
<span>x = the
total number of test questions to pass = >6</span>
p =
probability of success = 0.5
q =
probability of failure = 0.5
Given the
formula, let us calculate for the probabilities that the student will get at
least 6 correct questions by guessing.
P (6) = [10!
/ (4)! 6!] (0.5)^6 0.5^(4) = 0.205078
P (7) = [10!
/ (3)! 7!] (0.5)^7 0.5^(3) = 0.117188
P (8) = [10!
/ (2)! 8!] (0.5)^8 0.5^(2) = 0.043945
P (9) = [10!
/ (1)! 9!] (0.5)^9 0.5^(1) = 0.009766
P (10) = [10!
/ (0)! 10!] (0.5)^10 0.5^(0) = 0.000977
Total
Probability = 0.376953 = 0.38 = 38%
<span>There is a
38% chance the student will pass.</span>
The answer would be -17 because i know
