Data
Answer
2.0

To find the population standard deviation of 8 values, follow the step-by-step solution below.

Step 1 — Find the mean

Mean = (-2 + -4 + -4 + -4 + -5 + -5 + -7 + -9) ÷ 8

= -40 ÷ 8 = -5

Step 2 — Find the squared deviations from the mean

For each value, subtract the mean and square the result:

(-2 − -5)2 = (3)2 = 9

(-4 − -5)2 = (1)2 = 1

(-4 − -5)2 = (1)2 = 1

(-4 − -5)2 = (1)2 = 1

(-5 − -5)2 = (0)2 = 0

(-5 − -5)2 = (0)2 = 0

(-7 − -5)2 = (-2)2 = 4

(-9 − -5)2 = (-4)2 = 16

Step 3 — Find the variance (mean of squared deviations)

Variance = (9 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 16) ÷ 8

= 32 ÷ 8 = 4

Step 4 — Take the square root

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance:

σ = 4 = 2.0

Standard deviation (σ) = 2.0
