Practise calculating and interpreting estimated means and standard deviations from grouped data.
The times taken, in minutes, by 150 students to complete a puzzle are summarised in the table.
Calculate an estimate for the mean time for these students to complete the puzzle.
Using the class midpoints 10,25,32.5,37.5,45,60,
tˉ=15010(8)+25(23)+32.5(35)+37.5(52)+45(20)+60(12)=35.75 minutes.
