First the mean of the values we do have in the table
\(\frac{13+14(3)+15(2)+17(7)+18+20(5)+21+25}{1+3+2+7+1+5+1+1}=17.52\)
Now the differences from the mean and the data point and square them
\(\frac{4.5^2+3(3.5^2)+2(2.5^2)+7(0.5^2)+(0.5^2)+5(2.5^2)+3.5^2+7.5^2}{21}=8.154\)
Take the square root of \(\sqrt{8.154}=2.855\)
B is the answer
\(\frac{13+14(3)+15(2)+17(7)+18+20(5)+21+25}{1+3+2+7+1+5+1+1}=17.52\)
Now the differences from the mean and the data point and square them
\(\frac{4.5^2+3(3.5^2)+2(2.5^2)+7(0.5^2)+(0.5^2)+5(2.5^2)+3.5^2+7.5^2}{21}=8.154\)
Take the square root of \(\sqrt{8.154}=2.855\)
B is the answer
