Question

Let x be a random variable that represents the average daily temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) in July in a town in Colorado. The x distribution has a mean μ of approximately 75°F and standard deviation σ of approximately 8°F. A 20-year study (620 July days) gave the entries in the rightmost column of the following table.

μ – 3σ ≤ x < μ – 2σ   51 ≤ x < 59 2.35%           16            
μ – 2σ ≤ x < μ – σ   59 ≤ x < 67 13.5%           83            
μ – σ ≤ x < μ   67 ≤ x < 75 34%           205            
μ ≤ x < μ + σ   75 ≤ x < 83 34%           224            
μ + σ ≤ x < μ + 2σ   83 ≤ x < 91 13.5%           79            
μ + 2σ ≤ x < μ + 3σ   91 ≤ x < 99 2.35%           13            

(ii) Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the average daily July temperature follows a normal distribution with μ = 75 and σ = 8.

(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round the expected frequencies to at least three decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)
 
^^ There is not a sample variance given like in the examples I have seen and I do not know how to approach without it. Thanks
