Explanation & Answer


Frequency Distribution 

xp(x)xpx^2*p
420/10580/105320/105
523/105115/105575/105
623/105138/105828/105
736/105252/1051764/105
83/10524/105192/105


∑xp = 609/105 = 5.8
∑x^2p=3679/105=35.03






Mean = 5.8

Variance = 35.03 - (5.8)^2 = 35.03 - 33.64 = 1.39

S.D = square root of  1.39 = 1.17
