A dietitian collects data on daily sugar intake (in grams) from all 940 patients at her clinic. She finds the average intake is 52.3 grams with a spread around that average of 8.7 grams. She then randomly selects 60 patients for a follow-up study who averaged 49.1 grams per day with a spread of 7.4 grams. What statistical notation should she use to represent the value of 8.7?
