Another order calls for 26 widgets. the widgets comes in boxes of 5. how many full boxes of 5 do you pull? how many single items do you still need?

divide 26 by 5

26 /5 = 5.2

 so 5 full boxes

5*5 = 25

26-25 = 1

 so 5 full boxes and 1 single widget

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
