Use the following grouped data set (and your calculator if you want to and know how) to find the quantity requested below.
Calculate the sample standard deviation for the data set. Follow the rounding rule from the formula sheet.
Note:
Final Answer: The sample standard deviation for the data set is
Step 1 :Given the grouped data set, we are asked to calculate the sample standard deviation. The formula for the sample standard deviation is
Step 2 :We are given
Step 3 :From the frequency table, we have the classes and their frequencies as follows: classes = [5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55] and frequencies = [19, 23, 16, 12, 14, 24].
Step 4 :By multiplying the frequency of each class by its midpoint, we get
Step 5 :Substituting these values into the formula, we get
Step 6 :Solving this, we get the sample standard deviation
Step 7 :Final Answer: The sample standard deviation for the data set is
