Find the sample standard deviation of the dataset
$x = 726.04$, $746.47$, $735.1$, $747.17$, $725.33$, $738.83$, $721.39$, $746.89$, $734.91$, $722.99$, $725.57$, $722.86$.
Find the sample mean. Hint: The sample mean is given by the formula $\bar{x} = \dfrac{\sum x}{n}$.
$\bar{x} = \dfrac{\class{inputBox step1}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{A1}}\hspace{54px}}~}}{\class{inputBox step1}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{A2}}\hspace{54px}}~}} = \class{inputBox step1}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{AR}}\hspace{54px}}~}$ $\bar{x} = \dfrac{[8793.55]}{[12]} = [732.79583333]$
Complete the table.

Find the sample variance. Hint: The sample variance is given by the formula $s^2 = \dfrac{\sum (x - \bar{x})^2}{n-1}$.
$s^2 = \dfrac{\class{inputBox step3}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{C1}}\hspace{80px}}~}}{\class{inputBox step3}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{C2}}\hspace{80px}}~}} = \class{inputBox step3}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{CR}}\hspace{100px}}~}$ $s^2 = \dfrac{[1116.99589167]}{[11]} = [101.54508106]$
Therefore, Hint: The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
$s = \sqrt{\class{inputBox step4}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{D1}}\hspace{100px}}~}} = \class{inputBox step4}{~\bbox[border:2px solid blue]{\strut\rlap{\class{inputReplace}{DR}}\hspace{100px}}~}$ $s = \sqrt{[101.54508106]} = [10.07695793]$
