Find the sample standard deviation of the dataset
$x = 688.3$, $690.9$, $690.6$, $682.3$, $681.5$, $682.9$, $691.1$, $682.7$, $679.5$, $690.6$, $697.1$, $688.1$, $693.5$.
Find the sample mean. Hint: The sample mean is given by the formula $\bar{x} = \dfrac{\sum x}{n}$.
$\bar{x} = \dfrac{\class{inputBox step1}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{A1}}\hspace{54px}}~}}{\class{inputBox step1}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{A2}}\hspace{54px}}~}} = \class{inputBox step1}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{AR}}\hspace{54px}}~}$ $\bar{x} = \dfrac{[8939.1]}{[13]} = [687.62307692]$
Complete the table.

Find the sample variance. Hint: The sample variance is given by the formula $s^2 = \dfrac{\sum (x - \bar{x})^2}{n-1}$.
$s^2 = \dfrac{\class{inputBox step3}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{C1}}\hspace{80px}}~}}{\class{inputBox step3}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{C2}}\hspace{80px}}~}} = \class{inputBox step3}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{CR}}\hspace{100px}}~}$ $s^2 = \dfrac{[343.94307692]}{[12]} = [28.66192308]$
Therefore, Hint: The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
$s = \sqrt{\class{inputBox step4}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{D1}}\hspace{100px}}~}} = \class{inputBox step4}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{DR}}\hspace{100px}}~}$ $s = \sqrt{[28.66192308]} = [5.35368313]$
