Answer:

32.03%

Explanation:

The computation of the standard deviation is as follows;

As we know that

Average return = Total return ÷Total time period

= (32 + 24 - 48 + 12 - 9) ÷ 5

= 2.2%

Now

Return         (Return - Average Return)^2

32                  (32 - 2.2)^2 = 888.04

24                 (24 - 2.2)^2 = 475.24

-48                (- 48 - 2.2)^2  = 2520.04

12                  (12 - 2.2)^2 = 96.04

-9                   (-9 - 2.2)^2 = 125.44

Total =                 4104.8%

Now

Standard deviation is

= [Total (Return - Average Return)^2 ÷ (Time period- 1)]^(1 ÷ 2)

= [4104.8 ÷ (5 - 1)]^(1 ÷ 2)

= [4104.8 ÷ 4]^(1 ÷ 2)

= 32.03%

Inga [223]

Answer:

Sample size is 16

Mean 4

Standard deviation of the sample is 0.3.

Explanation

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

In this problem, we have that:

The population has a mean of four hours, with a standard deviation of 1.2 hours. The sample is the 16 of the employees.

So

The sample size is 16, so n = 16

The mean of the sample is the same as the population mean, so \mu = 4.

The standard deviation of the sample is s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{1.2}{4} = 0.3
