Ten people participated in the first round of a competition, after which their scores were analyzed to determine which people would compete in the second round. The table shows the participants’ first-round scores, the difference between each participant’s score and the average (arithmetic mean) score of all participants, and the square of that difference.
Before the second round of competition, one or more of the listed participants were disqualified. A new mean and new standard deviation will be calculated from only those players who were not disqualified.
