3. Describing Data Numerically / Standard Deviation / Problem 8
Problem 8
Why is it incorrect to use (Sigma x)^2 instead of Sigma x squared in the numerator of the standard deviation formula?
A
Because Sigma x squared is not used in any formula.
B
Because both values are always equal.
C
Because (Sigma x)^2 represents the square of the sum, not the sum of the squares, which leads to incorrect calculation of variance.
D
Because (Sigma x)^2 is always smaller.
