Data
Answer
4.082483

To find the population standard deviation of 3 values, follow the step-by-step solution below.

Step 1 — Find the mean

Mean = (-5 + -10 + -15) ÷ 3

= -30 ÷ 3 = -10

Step 2 — Find the squared deviations from the mean

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

(-5 − -10)2 = (5)2 = 25

(-10 − -10)2 = (0)2 = 0

(-15 − -10)2 = (-5)2 = 25

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

Variance = (25 + 0 + 25) ÷ 3

= 50 ÷ 3 = 503

Step 4 — Take the square root

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance:

σ = 503 = 4.082483

Standard deviation (σ) = 4.082483
