    To find the standard deviation of the data set \(1, 1, 2, 3, 3\), follow these steps:
1. **Calculate the mean (average)**:
\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of all data points}}{\text{Number of data points}} = \frac{1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 3}{5} = \frac{10}{5} = 2
\]
2. **Calculate the squared deviations from the mean**:
- For \(1\): \((1 - 2)^2 = (-1)^2 = 1\)
- For \(1\): \((1 - 2)^2 = (-1)^2 = 1\)
- For \(2\): \((2 - 2)^2 = (0)^2 = 0\)
- For \(3\): \((3 - 2)^2 = (1)^2 = 1\)
- For \(3\): \((3 - 2)^2 = (1)^2 = 1\)
3. **Sum of squared deviations**:
\[
1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 = 4
\]
4. **Calculate the variance**:
- Since we have a population data set, we divide by \(N\) (the total number of data points):
\[
\text{Variance} = \frac{\text{Sum of squared deviations}}{N} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8
\]
5. **Calculate the standard deviation**:
\[
\text{Standard deviation} = \sqrt{\text{Variance}} = \sqrt{0.8} \approx 0.8944
\]
Thus, the standard deviation of the data set \(1, 1, 2, 3, 3\) is approximately \(0.8944\).
