We are going to calculate the standard deviation for the following set of sample data. 2, 4, 6, 10, 14
1) First, calculate the mean. ¯x= 2+4+6+10+14=36/5= 7.2 2) Fill in the table below. Fill in the differences of each data value from the mean, then the squared differences. 3) Calculate the standard deviation. (x-x): (x-x)^2: 2-7.2 = -5.2 (-5.2)^2= 27.04 4-7.2 = -3.2 (-3.2)^2= 10.24 6-7.2 = -1.2 (-1.2)^2= 1.44 10-7.2 = 2.8 (2.8)^2= 7.84 14-7.2 = 6.8 (6.8)^2= 46.24 ∑(x-x)²: sqrt(23.2) = 4.816 = 4.82 92.8/4 = 23.2

As shown above, a classic deck of cards is made up of 52 cards, 26 are black, 26 are red. Each color is split into two suits of 13 cards each (clubs and spades are black and hearts and diamonds are red). Each suit is split into 13 individual cards (Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, and King). If you select a card at random, what is the probability of getting: 1) A(n) 6 of Heart's? 2) A Diamond or Spade? 3) A number smaller than 5 (counting the ace as a 1)?
