  2. B 4.1
  3. C 5.6
  4. D 3.1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 3.1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \bar{x} = \frac{5+8+10+7+10+14}{6} = \frac{54}{6} = 9 \) \( s = \sqrt{\frac{(5-9)^2+(8-9)^2+(10-9)^2+(7-9)^2+(10-9)^2+(14-9)^2}{6-1}} = \sqrt{\frac{16+1+1+4+1+25}{5}} = \sqrt{\frac{48}{5}} = \sqrt{9.6} \approx 3.1 \)
