Beyond the Answer
To calculate the standard deviation, we first need to find the mean (average) of the data set. 1. **Calculate the Mean:** \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{99 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13}{5} = \frac{145}{5} = 29 \] 2. **Calculate the Deviations from the Mean:** \[ 99 - 29 = 70, \quad 10 - 29 = -19, \quad 11 - 29 = -18, \quad 12 - 29 = -17, \quad 13 - 29 = -16 \] 3. **Square the Deviations:** \[ 70^2 = 4900, \quad (-19)^2 = 361, \quad (-18)^2 = 324, \quad (-17)^2 = 289, \quad (-16)^2 = 256 \] 4. **Sum of Squared Deviations:** \[ 4900 + 361 + 324 + 289 + 256 = 5840 \] 5. **Variance (for population):** \[ \text{Variance} = \frac{5840}{5} = 1168 \] 6. **Standard Deviation:** \[ \text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{1168} \approx 34.19 \] So, the standard deviation for the group of data items \( 99, 10, 11, 12, 13 \) rounded to two decimal places is **34.19**.
