Solution

To calculate the standard deviation of the box, we first need to calculate the mean and the variance.

Step 1: Calculate the mean (average) The mean is calculated by adding all the numbers in the box and dividing by the total number of numbers. In this case, we have one 1 and nine 0s, so the mean is (1+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0) / 10 = 0.1

Step 2: Calculate the variance The variance is calculated by subtracting the mean from each number in the box, squaring the result, and then averaging these squares.

For the nine 0s, this is (0-0.1)^2 = 0.01. For the one 1, this is (1-0.1)^2 = 0.81.

The variance is then (90.01 + 10.81) / 10 = 0.09.

Step 3: Calculate the standard deviation The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. So, the standard deviation is sqrt(0.09) = 0.3.

So, the standard deviation of the box is 0.3.
