Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3.162

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\bar{x} = \frac{6+10+15+12+9+8}{6} = 10\) \(s^2 = \frac{(6-10)^2 + (10-10)^2 + (15-10)^2 + (12-10)^2 + (9-10)^2 + (8-10)^2}{6-1}\) \(s^2 = \frac{16 + 0 + 25 + 4 + 1 + 4}{5} = \frac{50}{5} = 10\) \(s = \sqrt{10} \approx 3.162\)
