Check your answer

Choose a response and explain your reasoning.

Juniper's 16 Year 1 observations have a sample mean of 31.875 days and sum of squared deviations 513.75 day². The record is a sample and the module declares the n - 1 convention. Which variance and standard deviation are correct?

The item binds the denominator to the record role. A software default is not a substitute for that declaration.
