The values of x given in the table on the left have a standard deviation of 0.88. Find the standard deviation of the values of y.
The temperatures, T° Celsius, at seven locations in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve were recorded at 4p.m. one January afternoon. The values of T, correct to 1 decimal place, were:
32.1, 31.7, 31.2, 31.5, 31.9, 32.2 and 32.7.
a. Evaluate Σ10(T − 30) and Σ100(T − 30)2.
b. Use your answers to part a to calculate the standard deviation of T.
c. By 5p.m. the temperature at each location had dropped by exactly 0.75°C. Find the variance of the temperatures at 5p.m.
