Use your calculator to find the mean and standard deviation


Sagot :

The mean and the standard deviation are 16.15 and 12.03, respectively

How to determine the mean and the standard deviation?

The table of values is given as:

Work hours           Frequency

0 - <10                        45

10 - <20                      33

20 - <30                     20

30 - <40                       7

40 - <50                      8

Start by rewriting the table using the midpoint of each class

x      f

5     45

15    33

25    20

35    7

45    8

The mean is then calculated as:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\bar x = \frac{5 * 45 + 15 * 33 + 25 * 20 35 * 7 + 45 * 8}{45 + 33 + 20 + 7 + 8}[/tex]

Evaluate the sum and the products

[tex]\bar x = \frac{1825}{113}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]\bar x = 16.15[/tex]

The standard deviation is:

[tex]\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{\sum f(x - \bar x)^2}{\sum f}}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\sigma= \sqrt{\frac{45 * (5 - 16.15)^2 + 33 * (15 - 16.15)^2 + 20 * (25 - 16.15)^2 + 7 * (35 - 16.15)^2 + 8 * (45 - 16.15)^2 }{45 + 33 + 20 + 7 + 8}}[/tex]

Evaluate the sum and the products

[tex]\sigma= \sqrt{\frac{16350.4425}{113}}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]\sigma= \sqrt{144.694181416}[/tex]

Take the square root

[tex]\sigma= 12.03[/tex]

Hence, the mean and the standard deviation are 16.15 and 12.03, respectively
