Question

Calculate the estimate of the mean height of the students in cm and explain your answer

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we find the average height of each height first,

t¹= (120+124)/2

=244/2

=122

t²= (124+128)/2

t²= 252/2

t²= 126

t³= (128+132)/2

t³= 260/2

t³= 130

t⁴= (132+136)/2

t⁴= 268/2

t⁴ =134

t⁵= (136+140)/2

t⁵= 276/2

t⁵= 138

so multiplying each height by its frequency we can find the total height, so we have..

total height= (122*7)+(126*8)+(130*13)+(134*9)+(138*3)

= 854+1008+1690+1206+414

= 5172

mean height = total height/total frequency

= 5172/40

=129.3
