Answer
2.95804

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

= 36 ÷ 8 = 92

Step 2 — Find the squared deviations from the mean

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

(-2 − 92)2 = (-132)2 = 1694

(4 − 92)2 = (-12)2 = 14

(4 − 92)2 = (-12)2 = 14

(4 − 92)2 = (-12)2 = 14

(5 − 92)2 = (12)2 = 14

(5 − 92)2 = (12)2 = 14

(7 − 92)2 = (52)2 = 254

(9 − 92)2 = (92)2 = 814

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

Variance = (1694 + 14 + 14 + 14 + 14 + 14 + 254 + 814) ÷ 8

= 70 ÷ 8 = 354

Step 4 — Take the square root

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance:

σ = 354 = 2.95804

Standard deviation (σ) = 2.95804
