Descriptive statistics – Standard Deviation
If m is the arithmetic mean (average) of 4 integers a, b, c, and d and s is the standard deviation of the 4 integers and s = , then is s > 0?(1) m > a(2) a + b + c + d = 0Solution:s will be zero only in two instances: (i) when all the elements in the set are the same, or (ii) the set contains only one element, which in this case is not possible. So, we need to check whether a, … [Read more...] about Descriptive statistics – Standard Deviation
