Answer:

Variance = 9.8

Standard deviation = 3.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Group    Midpoint X    Frequency f    f*x      x^2    f*(x^2)

9 to 11             10                    1              10      100     100

12 to 14           13                   17             221    169     2873

15 to 17           16                   13             208   256    3328

18 to 20          19                    8             152     361     2888

21 to 23          22                   2              44      484    968

24 to 26         25                    1              25      625    625

SUM                                      42             660   1995   10782

Mean (x) = ∑(f*x) / ∑f

Mean (x) = 660/42

Mean (x) = 15.7142857143

Variance = ∑(f*x^2) / ∑f - (Mean^2)

Variance =  [10782/42] - [15.71428571432 ]

Variance = 9.77551020408

Variance = 9.8

Standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{Variance}[/tex]

Standard deviation = 3.12658123261

Standard deviation = 3.1
