Calculate the population mean Round your answer to 2 decimal
Calculate the population mean. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Calculate the population variance and the population standard deviation. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
| Consider the following frequency distribution. |
Solution
a)
Consider the table:
Thus,
mean = Sum(f x) / Sum(f) = 1058/174 = 6.08045977 [ANSWER]
********************************
b)
As
variance = [Sum(f x^2) - Sum (f x)^2 / n] / n
Then
variance = [6878 - 1058^2/174]/174 = 2.556744616 [answer]
Also,
standard deviation = sqrt(variance) = 1.598982369 [answer]
| Mindpoint (x) | Frequency (f) | f x | f x^2 |
| 3 | 17 | 51 | 153 |
| 5 | 63 | 315 | 1575 |
| 7 | 77 | 539 | 3773 |
| 9 | 17 | 153 | 1377 |
| Total | 174 | 1058 | 6878 |
