Q: The mean and sd of the 8 nunbers are (shown below) are 10th and 0.3, respectively. What percent of the 8 numbers are within 1 sd of the mean?

9.4, 9.9, 9.9, 9.9, 10, 10.2, 10.2, 10.5

I failed to get the right answer.


Cheers!

Given S.D=0.3 and Mean =10

Within 1 SD means 10+ 0.3 (or) 9.7-10.3

Of the 8 numbers, 6 of them lie within this range (9.7-10.3)

6/8 * 100 = 75%
