Seven households have the following number of creatures living there, 6,5,8,9,7,8,9.

The standard deviation of creatures living in these households?

The standard deviation is calculated as the square root of the sum of the squared differences between each case and the mean, divided by the number of cases:

The mean (the x with a bar over it in the formula) of the number of creatures is 7.42, so the standard deviation is:

SD = √ [ ((6 - 7.42)2 + (5 - 7.42)2 + ... + (9 - 7.42)2)/(7-1) ]
SD = √ [((-2.42)2 + (-1.42)2 + (-0.42)2 + (-0.58)2 + (-0.58)2 + (1.58)2 + (1.58)2)/6]
SD = √ [13.71/6]
SD = √ 2.28
SD = 1.51
