For the data from the simple random sample as: 5, 8, 10, 7, 18, 12

The point estimate of the population standard deviation is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Mean =606=10=\dfrac{60}{6}=10.

Sum of squared deviations =25+4+0+9+64+4=106=25+4+0+9+64+4=106.

Sample variance s2=1065=21.2s^2=\dfrac{106}{5}=21.2, so s=21.2≈4.6s=\sqrt{21.2}\approx 4.6.
