Answer:

--- Variance
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Solving (a): Calculate the mean.
The given data is a grouped data. So, first we calculate the class midpoint (x)
For 51 - 58.

For 59 - 66

For 67 - 74

For 75 - 82

For 83 - 90

So, the table becomes:

The mean is then calculated as:



-- approximated
Solving (b): The sample variance:
This is calculated as:

So, we have:


-- approximated
Answer : 4. 576
Y= 330 + 8.2(30)
330 +246
576
<h2>The cost is same for both the options if we purchase 27 photos</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of a photo at a local store is $0.25 per photo. This cost can be modeled to be linear in number of photos as
.
Cost of photos purchased online is $0.15 per photo. However there is a shipping cost of $2.70. This can also be modeled to be linear in number of photos as
.
Let us assume both costs are the same if we purchase
photos.
So, 



∴ On purchasing 27 photos, cost for both the options is the same.
