Math Problem Statement
Solution
It looks like you're working on a problem that involves calculating the variance and standard deviation for a set of frequency data related to road service times.
The data in the image you provided is structured as follows:
- Time intervals and their corresponding frequencies are listed, such as:
- 22-28 minutes with a frequency of 2
- 29-35 minutes with a frequency of 1
- 36-42 minutes with a frequency of 2
- And so on...
It seems your current variance calculation of 43.08 is incorrect, as the correct variance is 50.3, with a standard deviation of 7.1, as given in the solution.
To calculate the variance and standard deviation, we need to follow these steps:
- Find the midpoint of each time interval (i.e., the average of the upper and lower bounds of each interval).
- Multiply each midpoint by the corresponding frequency to get the weighted value.
- Calculate the mean of these weighted values by dividing the total sum by the total frequency.
- Calculate the variance by taking the squared differences between each midpoint and the mean, multiplying by the corresponding frequency, and dividing by the total frequency.
- Find the standard deviation by taking the square root of the variance.
If you'd like, I can walk you through the entire calculation process step by step or clarify any specific parts you're unsure about.
