The following relative frequency distribution was constructe
The following relative frequency distribution was constructed from a population of 200. Calculate the population mean, the population variance, and the population standard deviation. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.) Class Relative Frequency 20 up to 10 0.35 10 up to 0 0.20 0 up to 10 0.40 10 up to 20 0.05 Population mean Population variance Population standard deviation
Solution
Consider:
Thus,
E(x) = Expected value = mean = -3.5 [ANSWER, MEAN]
Var(x) = E(x^2) - E(x)^2 = 92.75 [ANSWER, VARIANCE]
s(x) = sqrt [Var(x)] = 9.630680142 [ANSWER, STANDARD DEVIATION]
| x | P(x) | x P(x) | x^2 P(x) |
| -15 | 0.35 | -5.25 | 78.75 |
| -5 | 0.2 | -1 | 5 |
| 5 | 0.4 | 2 | 10 |
| 15 | 0.05 | 0.75 | 11.25 |
