a)
To find standard deviation of given data.
a)

Answer to Problem 1PP
The standard deviation is 15.95
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Data is,
112, 128, 108, 129, 125, 153, 155, 132, 137
Formula:
Calculation:
Using formula,
b)

b)

Answer to Problem 1PP
The sample size is 9.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Data is,
112, 128, 108, 129, 125, 153, 155, 132, 137
Mean = 131.0 mm Hg and the variance = 254.5
Calculation:
The sample size is a count of selected sample data values.
Therefore, here count is 9 hence sample size is n = 9.
c)
To find the standard error of the mean
c)

Answer to Problem 1PP
The standard error of the mean = 5.32
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Data is,
112, 128, 108, 129, 125, 153, 155, 132, 137
Mean = 131.0 mm Hg and the variance = 254.5
Standard deviation s = 15.95 and Sample size = n = 9
Formula:
Calculation:
Using formula,
d)
To find the approximate 95% confidence interval for mean
d)

Answer to Problem 1PP
Lower limit = 120.4 mm Hg and upper limit = 141.6 mm Hg
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Data is,
112, 128, 108, 129, 125, 153, 155, 132, 137
Mean = 131.0 mm Hg and the variance = 254.5
Standard deviation s = 15.95 and Sample size = n = 9
Standard error = SE = 5.32
Formula:
