The following data, represents a sample of unused vacation days during a year for employees at a company. Approximate (2 decimal place) the sample standard deviation of unused vacation days at the end of the year. HINT: you will need to find the midpoint of each class! days frequency midpoint 1-3 3 4-6 10 7-9 20 10-12 15 13-15 7
Added by Daniel J.
Step 1
- For the class 1-3, the midpoint is (1+3)/2 = 2. - For the class 4-6, the midpoint is (4+6)/2 = 5. - For the class 7-9, the midpoint is (7+9)/2 = 8. - For the class 10-12, the midpoint is (10+12)/2 = 11. - For the class 13-15, the midpoint is (13+15)/2 = 14. Show more…
