To find the standard deviation, we first calculate the mean (average) of the data. Mean = \( (5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9) / 5 = 7 \). Next, we find the squared deviations from the mean: - \( (5 - 7)^2 = 4 \) - \( (6 - 7)^2 = 1 \) - \( (7 - 7)^2 = 0 \) - \( (8 - 7)^2 = 1 \) - \( (9 - 7)^2 = 4 \) Now, calculate the variance: Variance = \( (4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4) / 5 = 10 / 5 = 2 \). Finally, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance: Standard Deviation = \( \sqrt{2} \approx 1.41 \). So the standard deviation is approximately \( 1.41 \) (rounded to two decimal places).
