[a] Arithmetic average for Treasury Bills would be sum of all the rates divided by number of years
Treasury average = 89.40/8
= 11.175%
Arithmetic average for Inflation would be sum of all the rates divided by number of years
Inflation average = 103.75/8
= 12.968%
[b] Standard Deviation Formula
Standard deviation is a number used to tell how measurements for a group are spread out from the average (mean), or expected value.
