Calculate the sample variance and sample standard deviation for the following frequency distribution of heights in centimeters for a sample

Question

Calculate the sample variance and sample standard deviation for the following frequency distribution of heights in centimeters for a sample of 8-year-old boys. If necessary, round to one more decimal place than the largest number of decimal places given in the data.

    Answer:

    \bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i f_i}{n}= \frac{22026.1}{171}=128.81

    s^2 = \frac{2839948.85- \frac{(22026.1)^2}{171}}{171-1}= 16.59

    s= \sqrt{16.587}=4.07

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For this case we can calculate the sample variance and deviation with the following table

    Class               Midpoint (Xi)    fi        Xi*fi       Xi^2 *fi

    120.6-123.6        122.1             17      2075.7   253443

    123.7-126.7        125.2            49      6134.8    768077

    126.8-129.8        128.3            29     3720.7    477365.8

    129.9-132.9        131.4             41       5387.4   707904.4

    133.0-136.0        134.5            35      4007.5   633158.8

    ___________________________________________

    Total                                        171   22026.1    2839948.85

    For this case we can calculate the mean or expected value with the following formula:

    \bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i f_i}{n}= \frac{22026.1}{171}=128.81

    Now we can calculate the sample variance with the following formula:

    s^2 =\frac{\sum f_i X^2_i -[\frac{(\sum X_i f_i)}{n}]^2}{n-1}

    And if we replace we got:

    s^2 = \frac{2839948.85- \frac{(22026.1)^2}{171}}{171-1}= 16.59

    And the standard deviation would be the square root of the variance and we got:

    s= \sqrt{16.59}=4.07
