Compute SQNR (Signal to Quantization Noise Ratio)
The signal voltage is a sinusoid signal variant from $-V$ to $+V$, thus the RMS value
$$V_{rms} = \frac{V}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2^N \Delta V / 2}{\sqrt{2}}$$
because $2V = 2^N\Delta V$ where $\Delta V$ ...

Quantization SNR of sine wave doesn't match 1.761 + 6.02 * Q
Some issues here:
Your SNR formula only applies to full scale sine waves, your sine wave has -6dB amplitude so your SNR will be 6 dB lower
The formula also implies rounding, not truncation, that's ...

How to derive the results that averaging $N$ signals yields a $\sqrt{N}$-fold increase in signal-to-noise ratio?
