Hi, I'm supposed to find the sample variance and standard deviation for a problem with 30 values (the height of each family member calculated by inches). I have to show the work so i cannot just use a calculator (when I use the calculator i am incorrect) could someone please check my work, I don't know if i'm suppose to round up the mean?? or just what i'm doing wrong..here is the data...thanks
(individual data) subtract from ( mean) 64.36 then I hit 'x2' on my calc for 3rd column??
