 Which value of mean did you use to indicate the central tendency of the data for the connector d

I used the population mean to speak for the overall depth. There is 0.001485693 between the po

You used the population standard deviation to indicate the variation in the connector depth data.
the connector depth among all connectors produced? Explain.
It should be the population standard deviation so that it estimates the variation of the connector d
connectors whereas the population standard deviation speaks for all the connectors to be made.

Calculate, by hand, the sample standard deviation of the connector depth data. You may use the d
substitutions, and the result of your calculation to the appropriate number of decimal places.
