1. Calculate SS, variance, and standard deviation for the following sample:
4, 7, 3, 1, 5
Solution:
Sum of the squares (SS) = (4)^2+(7)^2+ (3)^2 +(1)^2 + (5)^2
SS= 16+ 49+9+1+25
SS= 100
We know that the formula for find the variance = Σ x^2/n - ( Σx/n)^2
Where n is the number of data's
Now we have to find Σx = 4+7+3+1+5
Σx = 20
Σ x^2 = (4)^2+(7)^2+ (3)^2 +(1)^2 + (5)^2
Σx^2= 100
Here n= 5
Now, plug in those values in the above formula, we get
Variance = 100/5 - (20/5)^2
= 20 - (4)^2
= 20 - 16
Variance(σ^2) = 4.
Variance denoted by σ^2
Now, we have to find the Standard deviation. ...
