answer given by a class on a multiple choice
test. find the sample variance correct to one decimal place

Answer :
class lower bound upper bound
1 1 10
2 11 20
3 21 30
4 31 40
5 41 50
Total

Average (r) = 26.78

Sample Variance = 100.94

population variance = 98.36

Population Standard deviation = 9.92

Sample Standard deviation = 10.05
