Sagot :

Answer:

4.66

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data

26, 26, 21, 22, 20, 25, 35

Step 1

We find the Mean

Mean = 26+ 26+ 21+ 22+20+25+ 35/7

= 175/7

= 25

Step 2

We find the Standard Deviation

The formula for Standard deviation that we would use is the Population Standard deviation, this is because the data given above is the data of the number of pounds of trash collected by each teenager

= √(x - Mean)²/n

= √(26 - 25)²+( 26 - 25)²+ (21 - 25)²+ (22 - 25)² +(20 - 25)²+(25 - 25)²+ (35 - 25)²/7

= √152/7

= √21.7142857

= 4.65985898

Approximately = 4.66

Answer:

5.03 Pounds (C)

The person above me is right, but you gotta solve for sample data; not population.

!This is for standard deviation!
