Find the standard deviation, s, of sample data summarized in the frequency distr

Question

Find the standard deviation, s, of sample data summarized in the frequency distribution table below by using the formula below, where x represents the class midpoint, f represents the class frequency, and n represents the total number of sample values. Also, compare the computed standard deviation to the standard deviation obtained from the original list of data values, 11.1 n(n - 1) Interval 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 70-79 8089 31 60-69 Frequency Standard deviation= (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Consider a difference of 20% between two values of a standard deviation to be significant. How does this computed value compare with the given standard deviation, 0 A. The core ted value is significantly greater than the given value. O B. The computed value is significantly less than the given value. ° C. The computed value is not significantly different from the given value.

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for the given problem is:

Approximate summary statistics:
Using counts in Frequency

Hence,

Standard deviation = 13.6

Option A is correct.

Column Std. dev. x 13.560847
