Then the point estimate of population standard deviation is :

  1. A 15.21
  2. B 10
  3. C 3.898
  4. D 3.192
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3.898

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \bar{x} = \frac{6+7+9+10+11+17}{6} = 10 \) \( \sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2 = (-4)^2+(-3)^2+(-1)^2+0^2+1^2+7^2 = 16+9+1+0+1+49 = 76 \) \( s = \sqrt{\frac{76}{6-1}} = \sqrt{\frac{76}{5}} = \sqrt{15.2} \approx 3.898 \)
