Answer

Mean: $y ̅ =-12.4~mm~HG$ Standard deviation: $y ̃=17.6~mm~HG$

Work Step by Step

$y ̅ =\frac{∑y_i}{n}=\frac{1.45+1.19+1.05+1.07}{4}=\frac{4.76}{4}=-12.4$ $s=\sqrt {\frac{∑(y_i-y ̅ )^2}{n-1}}=\sqrt {\frac{(-13-12.4)^2+(-13-12.4)^2+(-13-12.4)^2+(-13-12.4)^2+(-13-12.4)^2+(-13-12.4)^2+(-13-12.4)^2+(-13-12.4)^2+(-13-12.4)^2+(-13-12.4)^2}{10-1}}=17.59$
