To calculate the standard deviation, first find the mean: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{6 + 11 + 11 + 19}{4} = \frac{47}{4} = 11.75 \] Next, calculate the squared differences from the mean: \[ (6 - 11.75)^2 = (-5.75)^2 = 33.0625 \] \[ (11 - 11.75)^2 = (-0.75)^2 = 0.5625 \] \[ (11 - 11.75)^2 = (-0.75)^2 = 0.5625 \] \[ (19 - 11.75)^2 = (7.25)^2 = 52.5625 \] Now sum these squared differences: \[ 33.0625 + 0.5625 + 0.5625 + 52.5625 = 86.75 \] To find the variance, divide by the number of data items (n = 4): \[ \text{Variance} = \frac{86.75}{4} = 21.6875 \] Finally, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance: \[ \text{Standard Deviation} \approx \sqrt{21.6875} \approx 4.65 \] So, the standard deviation is approximately \(4.65\) (rounded to two decimal places).
