Worked solution

22(a)

1. Use class midpoints and calculate the estimated mean

Midpoints: 145,155,165,175145,155,165,175

Estimated mean=145(15)+155(31)+165(41)+175(13)100\text{Estimated mean}=\frac{145(15)+155(31)+165(41)+175(13)}{100}

=2175+4805+6765+2275100=\frac{2175+4805+6765+2275}{100}

=16020100=160.2=\frac{16020}{100}=160.2

Answer

160.2 cm160.2\text{ cm}

22(b)

1. Use the midpoints to calculate $\sum fx^2$

Class midpoints are 145,155,165,175145,155,165,175.

∑fx2=15(1452)+31(1552)+41(1652)+13(1752)\sum fx^2=15(145^2)+31(155^2)+41(165^2)+13(175^2)
=2 677 400=2\,677\,400

2. Substitute into the grouped-data standard deviation formula

Using xˉ=160.2\bar{x}=160.2 from part (a) and ∑f=100\sum f=100,

standard deviation=2 677 400100−(160.2)2\text{standard deviation}=\sqrt{\frac{2\,677\,400}{100}-(160.2)^2}
=26774−25664.04=\sqrt{26774-25664.04}
=1109.96=\sqrt{1109.96}
=33.315…=33.315\ldots

10.9 cm10.9\text{ cm}
