Answer:

So, the sample mean is 31.3.

So, the sample standard deviation is 6.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a list of data for the speeds (in miles per hour) of the 20 vehicles. So, N=20.

We calculate the sample mean :

\mu=\frac{19 +19 +22 +24 +25 +27 +28+ 37 +35 +30+ 37+ 36+ 39+ 40+ 43+ 30+ 31+ 36+ 33+ 35}{20}\\\\\mu=\frac{626}{20}\\\\\mu=31.3

So, the sample mean is 31.3.

We use the formula for a sample standard deviation:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N-1}\sum_{i=1}^{N}(x_i-\mu)^2}

Now, we calculate the sum

\sum_{i=1}^{20}(x_i-31.3)^2=(19-31.3)^2+(19-31.3)^2+(22-31.3)^2+(24-31.3)^2+(25-31.3)^2+(27-31.3)^2+(28-31.3)^2+(37-31.3)^2+(35-31.3)^2+(30-31.3)^2+(37-31.3)^2+(36-31.3)^2+(39-31.3)^2+(40-31.3)^2+(43-31.3)^2+(30-31.3)^2+(31-31.3)^2+(36-31.3)^2+(33-31.3)^2+(35-31.3)^2\\\\\sum_{i=1}^{20}(x_i-31.3})^2=926.2\\

Therefore, we get

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N-1}\sum_{i=1}^{N}(x_i-\mu)^2}\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{19}\cdot926.2}\\\\\sigma=6.98

So, the sample standard deviation is 6.98.
