The following readings give the weights of 6 persons (in kg) picked at random from college students in a particular college: 50, 52, 55, 60, 65 and 70. Find estimates of the following: (a) the true (population) mean weight of all the students (b) the true variance of weights of all the students (c) the true standard deviation of weights of all the students.
