The estimate for the mean is of: $227.15.

The estimate for the standard deviation is of: $219.4.

-------------------------------

  • First, we estimate the mean, which is the <u>sums of the multiplications of the relative frequencies and the halfway point of each interval.</u>
  • The size of the sample was of 339 + 93 + 53 + 17 + 9 + 8 + 1 = 520

The halfway points and relative frequencies are given as follows, and will be used to calculate both the mean and the standard deviation:

  • (0 + 199)/2 = 99.5, with a relative frequency of 339/520 = 0.6519.
  • (200 + 399)/2 = 299.5, with a relative frequency of 93/520 = 0.1788.
  • (400 + 599)/2 = 499.5, with a relative frequency of 53/520 = 0.1019.
  • (600 + 799)/2 = 699.5, with a relative frequency of 17/520 = 0.0327.
  • (800 + 999)/2 = 899.5, with a relative frequency of 9/520 = 0.0173.
  • (1000 + 1199)/2 = 1099.5, with a relative frequency of 8/520 = 0.0154.
  • (1200 + 1399)/2 = 1299.5, with a relative frequency of 1/520 = 0.0019.  

-------------------------------

Thus, the mean is of:

M = 0.6519(99.5) + 0.1788(299.5) + 0.1019(499.5) + 0.0327(699.5) + 0.0173(899.5) + 0.0154(1099.5) + 0.0019(1299.5) = 227.15

The mean of the amount of savings is of $227.15.

-------------------------------

The standard deviation is the <u>square root of the sum of the difference squared between each observation and the mean</u>, thus:

S = \sqrt{0.6519(99.5 - 227.15)^2 + 0.1788(299.5 - 227.15)^2 + 0.1019(499.5 - 227.15)^2 + ...} = 219.4

The standard deviation is of $219.4.

The ends of a pipe when measured with a tape measure that has marks every millimeter are exactly at the 0 mark and the 15 meter
exis [7]
If the ends span from the 0 to the 15 meter mark, then the length of the pipe is 15 meters. However, you should report it using the right amount of significant figures. It is mentioned in the problem that millimeter marks are calibrated between meters. Since millimeter is 1/1000 of a meter, you should add three decimal places to the 15 meters. Hence, you should report it as 15.000 meters.

Rashid [163]
If you would like to know what was the temperature after the increase, you can calculate this using the following step:

the beginning temperature: -9
increased: 37
the temperature after the increase: -9 + 37 = 28oF

The temperature after the increase was 28oF.
