Problem 1.

In a fourth grade class, the teacher was

Interested in the average age and the sample standard deviation of the ages of her students.
The ages are rounded to the nearest half year.

 9;  9.5;  9.5;  10; 10;  10; 10;  10.5; 10.5;  10.5

10.5; 11;  11;  11;  11;  11;  11;11.5; 11.5  11.5

Find the sample variance and sample standard deviation.

X́ (mean) = 9 + 9.5x2 + 10x4 + 10.5x4 +11x6 + 11.5x3

Mean = 10.525 or 10.53

X f X- X́ (X- X´ ¿ ¿2 (f) (X- X´ ¿ ¿2

11.5 3 0.975 0.950625 3 x 0.950625

11 6 0.475 0.225625 6 x 0.225625

10.5 4 -0.025 0.000625 4 x 0.000625

10 4 -0.525 0.275625 4 x 0.275625

9.5 2 -1.025 1.050625 2 x 1.050625

9 1 -1.525 2.325625 1 x 2.325625

Total 9.7375

Sample variance is (f) (X- X´ ¿ ¿2 = 9.7375 = 0.5125

N- 1 19

Sample standard variation is is √ 0.5125

=.071589 or .72
