Transcribed Image Text:**Topic: Calculating Standard Deviation of Red Blood Cell Counts**
The red blood cell counts (in \(10^6\) cells per microliter) of a healthy adult measured on 5 days are as follows:
- 5.3, 5.0, 5.2, 5.5, 5.5
To calculate the standard deviation of this sample of counts, round your answer to two decimal places.
If necessary, consult a list of formulas for guidance.
**Interactive Elements:**
- **Send data to calculator:** This function allows you to input the data into a calculator tool for processing.
- **Standard Deviation Link:** Access detailed information about the standard deviation and calculation methods.
- **Check Button:** Verify your calculated result.
- **Explanation Button:** Obtain a detailed explanation of the solution.
For further assistance, refer to the standard deviation section in the provided list of formulas.
