a. Energy Find the mean and the standard deviation for daily energy usage during ten days in June: $51.8 \mathrm{MWh}, 53.6 \mathrm{MWh}, 54.7 \mathrm{MWh}, 51.9 \mathrm{MWh}$ , $49.3 \mathrm{MWh}, 52.0 \mathrm{MWh}, 53.5 \mathrm{MWh}, 51.2 \mathrm{MWh}, 60.7 \mathrm{MWh}, 59.3 \mathrm{MWh}$ . b. How many items in the data set fall within one standard deviation of the mean? Within two standard deviations? Within three standard deviations?

Key Concepts

Standard Deviation

Standard deviation is a statistic that quantifies the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of data values. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be close to the mean, while a high standard deviation indicates that the data are spread out over a wider range.

Empirical Rule

The Empirical Rule, also known as the 68-95-99.7 rule, is used to understand the distribution of data in a normal distribution. It states that approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations. This helps in assessing the number of items within certain ranges of deviation from the mean.

Mean

The mean is the arithmetic average of a set of numbers, calculated by summing all the values and dividing by the number of data points. It serves as a measure of central tendency, providing a single value that represents the center of the data distribution.
