The following data set represents the ages of all 6 of Nancy's grandchildren.
11, 8, 5, 6, 3,9
To determine the "spread" of the data, would you employ calculations for the sample standard deviation, or population
standard deviation for this data set?

Answer:

Use calculation for the population  standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the data data set represents the ages of all 6 of Nancy's grandchildren

11,8,5,6,3,9

We have to determine which standard deviation would used for calculation of  the given data set.

Sample standard deviation :If the data values represent the data collected from   subset of  population .Then the sample standard deviation should be used.

Population standard deviation:

If the data values represents the data collected from entire population, then population standard deviation should be used.

We can see that the given data collected from entire population.

Therefore, we would use  calculation for population standard deviation of given data set.
