Answer

$R=25~min$ $s=8.43~min$

Work Step by Step

$R=largest~data~value-smallest~data~value=282-257=25$ The mean: $x̅=\frac{282+270+260+266+257+260+267}{7}=266$ The standard deviation: $s=\sqrt {\frac{Σ(x_i-x̅)^2}{n-1}}=\sqrt {\frac{(282-266)^2+(270-266)^2+(260-266)^2+(266-266)^2+(257-266)^2+(260-266)^2+(267-266)^2}{7-1}}=8.43$
