Explanation:
First, find the mean:
5.6+5.2+4.6+4.9+5.7+6.46=5.4
Now find the sum of the differences between the mean and all the points. Square those results:
(5.65.4)2=.04
(5.25.4)2=.04
(4.65.4)2=.64
(4.95.4)2=.25
(5.75.4)2=.09
(6.45.4)2=1
Find the average of the differences:
.04+.04+.64+.25+.09+16=.343
Now square root the result:
2.06=.5859
