Answer:

A) 7

B) 2.588

C) 2.3151

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

2, 5, 6, 7, 9

Formula:

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{29}{5} = 5.8

a) Range

= Highest value - Lowest Value = 9 - 2 = 7

b) Sample standard deviation

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.

Sum of squares = 14.44 + 0.64 + 0.04 + 1.44 + 10.24 = 26.8

SS.D = \sqrt{\frac{26.8}{4}} = 2.588

c) Population standard deviation

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n}}

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.

Sum of squares = 14.44 + 0.64 + 0.04 + 1.44 + 10.24 = 26.8

PS.D = \sqrt{\frac{26.8}{5}} = 2.3151
