STANDARD DEVIATION
STANDARD DEVIATION HW NAME______________________
1. The following data was collected from students on when they get up on Saturday mornings rounded to the nearest hour.
8,9,10,10,12,11,13,12,9,10,10,11,11,12,11,13,9,10,11,12,11,13
Make a dot plot, find the 3 M’s and the standard deviation. Mark the mean and put dotted vertical lines to indicate1,2, and 3 standard deviations from the mean

2. The parents of the same students were surveyed and these times were reported.
5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,9,9,8,8,7,7,7,7,6,6,5,5,6,7,8,9,7,7
Repeat the instructions for number 1

3. Compare the two sets using correct terminology! Be sure to discuss variability and which is greater. Give as conjecture as to why this group had a greater variability.
4. A manufacturer is trying to see how consistent their home rockets are. They send up ten rockets and measure the height each was able to reach. The data is given below. Make a dot plot. Find the mean, median and mode of the set. Use the mean to determine the standard deviation of the set. Label where one standard deviation falls on the dot plot. Does this number help answer the question of how consistent their home rockets were? How?
52 ft, 71 ft, 90ft, 45 ft, 62 ft, 39 ft, 50 ft, 56 ft, 44 ft, 56 ft
