Example Problem: 

            Assume that during a three-hour period spent outside, a person recorded the temperature and their water consumption.  The experiment was conducted on seven randomly selected days during the summer.

Data: 

Since the data above only represents a sample of summer days, calculate the sample standard deviation of the temperature and of the water consumption.

“Temperature (F)”
          Sample Standard Deviation Computation/Solution

“Water Consumption (ounces)”                                  
          Sample Standard Deviation Computation/Solution
