Question 19:

The weights of coffee in jars is shown in the following table:

Determine variance and standard deviation of the above distribution.

Answer:

Given: the weights of coffee in 70 jars

To find: the variance and standard deviation of the distribution

Let us make a table of the given data and append other columns after calculations

Here mean,

So the above table with more columns is as shown below,

And we know standard deviation is

Substituting values from above table, we get

And

Hence the variance and standard deviation of the distribution are 1.166g and 1.08 respectively.
