Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years

The answer is: Find the mean of the differences with the other numbers in the set<span>. Add the squared differences and then divide the total by the number of items in </span>data<span> in your </span>set; t<span>ake the square root of this mean of differences to </span>find<span> the standard </span>deviation.
