Standard deviation (population): σpop=1
Explanation:
The mean is clearly 2
Each value deviates from the mean by ±1
So the square of each value's deviation from the mean is 1 and the average of the squared deviations (i.e. the variance, σpop2) is 1
Therefore the standard deviation (assuming the data represents the entire population) is σpop=1=1
