Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3.1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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