- Slides: 12
A young athlete runs the 400 meter dash and records his trials in seconds. Find the mean and standard deviation for the data from his sprints: 50. 6, 50. 9, 49. 1, 51. 3, 50. 5, 49. 7, 51. 5, 49. 8, 51. 1, 48. 9, 50. 3, 49. 2, 51. 2, 50. 4, 52. 8.

Empirical Rule Main Entry: em·pir·i·cal Function: adjective Date: 1569 1 : originating in or based on observation or experience <empirical data> 2 : relying on experience or observation alone often without due regard for system and theory <an empirical basis for theory> 3 : capable of being verified or disproved by observation or experiment <empirical laws>
