Explanation Definition: 1. While computing the mean of a frequency distribution, write all products x ⋅ f of the values and their frequencies in a new column of the table. Represent the sum of these products by ∑ ( x ⋅ f ) . Denote the sum of the frequencies by ∑ f . The mean is then ∑ ( x ⋅ f ) ∑ f . 2. If x is a data value in a set whose mean is x ¯ , then x − x ¯ is called x’s deviation from the mean. 3. We denote the standard deviation of a sample of n data values by s = ∑ ( x − x ¯ ) 2 n − 1 . 4. We calculate the standard deviation, s, of a sample that is given as a frequency distribution as s = ∑ ( x − x ¯ ) 2 ⋅ f n − 1 . Here f is the frequency of data value x , and n = ∑ f is the number of data values in the distribution. Calculation: Observe the given table carefully. x f 3 1 4 1 5 0 6 2 7 5 8 3 9 3 First find the mean of the given data set. To compute the mean, let us find all products x ⋅ f of the given values and their respective frequencies. For x = 3 and f = 1 , the product x ⋅ f = 3 ⋅ 1 = 3. For x = 4 and f = 1 , the product x ⋅ f = 4 ⋅ 1 = 4. For x = 5 and f = 0 , the product x ⋅ f = 5 ⋅ 0 = 0. For x = 6 and f = 2 , the product x ⋅ f = 6 ⋅ 2 = 12. For x = 7 and f = 5 , the product x ⋅ f = 7 ⋅ 5 = 35. For x = 8 and f = 3 , the product x ⋅ f = 8 ⋅ 3 = 24. For x = 9 and f = 3 , the product x ⋅ f = 9 ⋅ 3 = 27. The sum of these products is 3 + 4 + 0 + 12 + 35 + 24 + 27 = 105. Therefore, ∑ ( x ⋅ f ) = 105. The sum of the frequencies is 1 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 15. Therefore, ∑ f = 15. The mean is then ∑ ( x ⋅ f ) ∑ f = 105 15 = 7
