Answer:
A)σ = 15.37 miles per hour
B) σ = 55.10 miles per hour
C) 39.73 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for standard deviation is;
σ = √(Σ(x - μ)²)/(n - 1)
A) For large wild cats;
μ = Σx/n = (70 + 40 + 30 + 40 + 35 + 35 + 35 + 35 + 10)/9 = 36.67
σ = √((70 - 36.67)² + (40 - 36.67)² + (30 - 36.67)² + (40 - 36.67)² + (35 - 36.67)² + (35 - 36.67)² + (35 - 36.67)² + (35 - 36.67)² + (10 - 36.67)²)/(9 - 1)
σ = √236.1139
σ = 15.37
B) For various birds;
μ = Σx/n = (218 + 106 + 97 + 56 + 66 + 39 + 55 + 32 + 54 + 20 + 25 + 25)/12
μ = 66.0833
σ = √((218 - 66.0833)² + (106 - 66.0833)² + (97 - 66.0833)² + (56 - 66.0833)² + (66 - 66.0833)² + (39 - 66.0833)² + (55 - 66.0833)² + (32 - 66.0833)² + (54 - 66.0833)² + (20 - 66.0833)² + (25 - 66.0833)² + (25 - 66.0833)²)/(12 - 1)
σ = √3035.72
σ = 55.10
C) difference in standard deviations = 55.10 - 15.37 = 39.73 miles per hour
