To compute the range, we need to find the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the data set.

The maximum value is 4120 and the minimum value is 2970.

Range = Maximum value - Minimum value = 4120 - 2970 = 1150 psi

To compute the sample standard deviation, we need to follow these steps:

1. Find the mean (average) of the data set.
2. Subtract the mean from each data value and square the result.
3. Find the average of the squared differences.
4. Take the square root to find the standard deviation.

Calculating the mean:
Mean = (3990 + 4120 + 3300 + 3100 + 2970 + 3850 + 4120 + 4040) / 8
Mean = 35080 / 8
Mean = 4385 psi

Calculating the squared differences:
(3990 - 4385)^2 = (-395)^2 = 156025
(4120 - 4385)^2 = (-265)^2 = 70225
(3300 - 4385)^2 = (-1085)^2 = 1177225
(3100 - 4385)^2 = (-1285)^2 = 1651225
(2970 - 4385)^2 = (-1415)^2 = 2004225
(3850 - 4385)^2 = (-535)^2 = 286225
(4120 - 4385)^2 = (-265)^2 = 70225
(4040 - 4385)^2 = (-345)^2 = 119025

Calculating the average of the squared differences:
Sum of squared differences = 156025 + 70225 + 1177225 + 1651225 + 2004225 + 286225 + 70225 + 119025 = 5324425
Average of squared differences = Sum of squared differences / (Number of data points - 1) = 5324425 / (8 - 1) = 760632.14

Calculating the standard deviation:
Sample standard deviation = square root of the average of squared differences ≈ square root of 760632.14 ≈ 872.16 psi

Therefore, the range of the concrete strength is 1150 psi and the sample standard deviation is 872.16 psi.
your answer for standard deviation is wrong.
I apologize for the mistake. Let's recalculate the sample standard deviation correctly.

Calculating the mean:
Mean = (3990 + 4120 + 3300 + 3100 + 2970 + 3850 + 4120 + 4040) / 8
Mean = 35090 / 8
Mean ≈ 4386.25 psi

Calculating the squared differences:
(3990 - 4386.25)^2 ≈ (-396.25)^2 ≈ 157007.56
(4120 - 4386.25)^2 ≈ (-266.25)^2 ≈ 70992.56
(3300 - 4386.25)^2 ≈ (-1086.25)^2 ≈ 1180458.56
(3100 - 4386.25)^2 ≈ (-1286.25)^2 ≈ 1654207.56
(2970 - 4386.25)^2 ≈ (-1416.25)^2 ≈ 2007846.56
(3850 - 4386.25)^2 ≈ (-536.25)^2 ≈ 287106.56
(4120 - 4386.25)^2 ≈ (-266.25)^2 ≈ 70992.56
(4040 - 4386.25)^2 ≈ (-346.25)^2 ≈ 119586.56

Calculating the average of the squared differences:
Sum of squared differences ≈ 157007.56 + 70992.56 + 1180458.56 + 1654207.56 + 2007846.56 + 287106.56 + 70992.56 + 119586.56 ≈ 6102208.52
Average of squared differences ≈ Sum of squared differences / (Number of data points - 1) ≈ 6102208.52 / (8 - 1) ≈ 871744.07

Calculating the standard deviation:
Sample standard deviation ≈ square root of the average of squared differences ≈ square root of 871744.07 ≈ 933.68 psi

Therefore, the range of the concrete strength is 1150 psi and the sample standard deviation is 933.68 psi.
your mean is wrong which cause your standard deviation to wrong.
I apologize for the mistake. Let's recalculate the mean and then recompute the sample standard deviation correctly.

Calculating the mean:
Mean = (3990 + 4120 + 3300 + 3100 + 2970 + 3850 + 4120 + 4040) / 8
Mean = 31690 / 8
Mean = 3962.5 psi

Calculating the squared differences:
(3990 - 3962.5)^2 = (27.5)^2 = 756.25
(4120 - 3962.5)^2 = (157.5)^2 = 24806.25
(3300 - 3962.5)^2 = (-662.5)^2 = 438906.25
(3100 - 3962.5)^2 = (-862.5)^2 = 744806.25
(2970 - 3962.5)^2 = (-992.5)^2 = 985006.25
(3850 - 3962.5)^2 = (-112.5)^2 = 12656.25
(4120 - 3962.5)^2 = (157.5)^2 = 24806.25
(4040 - 3962.5)^2 = (77.5)^2 = 6015.625

Calculating the average of the squared differences:

Average of squared differences = Sum of squared differences / (Number of data points - 1) = 2274157.5 / (8 - 1) = 324879.64

Calculating the standard deviation:
Sample standard deviation = square root of the average of squared differences ≈ square root of 324879.64 ≈ 570.17 psi

Therefore, the range of the concrete strength is 1150 psi and the sample standard deviation is approximately 570.17 psi.
I got the mean =3686.25
Apologies for the incorrect calculation. Let's recalculate the mean and then recompute the sample standard deviation correctly.

I believe yjour calculator is mess up. Your programmer really need to reprogram your calculator so that you stop make mistake in your calculation.
I apologize for the repeated mistakes in my previous responses. I will recalculate the mean and the sample standard deviation correctly to ensure accuracy.

Calculating the mean:
Mean = (3990 + 4120 + 3300 + 3100 + 2970 + 3850 + 4120 + 4040) / 8

(4120 - 3948.75)^2 = (171.25)^2 = 29306.56
(3300 - 3948.75)^2 = (-648.75)^2 = 420663.56
(3100 - 3948.75)^2 = (-848.75)^2 = 720066.56
(2970 - 3948.75)^2 = (-978.75)^2 = 958011.56
(3850 - 3948.75)^2 = (-98.75)^2 = 9751.56
(4120 - 3948.75)^2 = (171.25)^2 = 29306.56
(4040 - 3948.75)^2 = (91.25)^2 = 8340.62
