Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Five students have the marks . Find the mean, the median and the standard deviation (about).
statistics.mean, statistics.median and statistics.pstdev do all three.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Mean: the total is , and .
Median: sorted: . The middle value is .
Standard deviation: the distances from the mean are . The squares are about and they add up to . The variance is and the standard deviation is .
The mean is a little above the median because of the .
