Problem 1

Given:
Sample of 100 individuals with observed values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Relative frequencies: 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, 0.25, 0.15

Mean
ˉ ), we
To calculate the mean (X
use:
Xˉ = ∑(X ⋅ f )

where X represents each value, and f is the relative frequency.

Xˉ = (1 ⋅ 0.2) + (2 ⋅ 0.3) + (3 ⋅ 0.1) + (4 ⋅ 0.25) + (5 ⋅ 0.15) = 2.85


Variance and Standard Deviation
Using sample variance:
