Answer 1

To calculate the standard deviation of the data set provided, we can enter the values into Desmos as a list and use the standard deviation function.

Here is the list: {173.54, 173.54, 171.48, 171.48, 173.19, 173.19, 171.07}

In Desmos, enter the list as follows:

1. Click on the "+" icon in the top-left corner to add a new expression.
2. Enter "{173.54, 173.54, 171.48, 171.48, 173.19, 173.19, 171.07}" into the expression list box.
3. Add a new expression by clicking on the "+" icon again.
4. Type "sdev({173.54, 173.54, 171.48, 171.48, 173.19, 173.19, 171.07})" into the second expression box.

Desmos will then calculate the standard deviation of the data set, which comes out to be approximately 1.09.
