For the following set of data, find the number of data within 2 population standarddeviations of the mean.93, 65, 67, 67, 67, 65, 66, 65

First we need to find the mean and the standadr deviation. For the mean, we sum the values up and divide by the number of data given. We have 8 data, so:
[tex]\mu=\frac{93+65+67+67+67+65+66+65}{8}=\frac{555}{8}=69.375[/tex]Now, we need the standard deviation. To find it, we use the formula:
[tex]\sigma=\sqrt[]{\frac{\sum ^{}_{}(x_i-\mu)^2}{N-1}}[/tex]The sum symbol in there mean we need to get each data given, substract the mean we calculated, square them and then sum all. N is the number of data, which is 8. Let look one example:
For data 93, we do:
[tex](x_i-\mu)^2=(93-69.375)^2=23.625^2=558.141[/tex]Now, we do the same for the others:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_i-\mu)^2=(65-69.375)^2=(-4.375)^2=19.141 \\ (x_i-\mu)^2=(67-69.375)^2=(-2.375)^2=5.641 \\ (x_i-\mu)^2=(67-69.375)^2=(-2.375)^2=5.641 \\ (x_i-\mu)^2=(67-69.375)^2=(-2.375)^2=5.641 \\ (x_i-\mu)^2=(65-69.375)^2=(-4.375)^2=19.141 \\ (x_i-\mu)^2=(66-69.375)^2=(-3.375)^2=11.391 \\ (x_i-\mu)^2=(65-69.375)^2=(-4.375)^2=19.141 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we sum all of them:
[tex]558.141+19.141+5.641+5.641+5.641+19.141+11.391+19.141=643.878[/tex]This goes into the formula.
[tex]\sigma=\sqrt[]{\frac{643.878}{8-1}}=\sqrt[]{\frac{643.878}{7}}=\sqrt[]{91.982}=9.591[/tex]Now, we want the number of data that is within 2 standard deviation from the mean. Thus, we want the data that are between:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \mu-2\sigma=69.375-2\cdot9.591=50.193 \\ \mu+2\sigma=69.375+2\cdot9.591=88.557 \end{gathered}[/tex]From the given Data, 93 is out of this range, but all the others (65, 67, 67, 67, 65, 66, 65) are in it. So, the number of data within 2 standard deviations from the mean is 7.
